ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement Consulting
ISO 20400:2017 is the international guidance standard for integrating sustainability into procurement processes. It helps organizations make purchasing decisions that support environmental, social, and economic responsibility. At Wintersmith Advisory, we support public and private sector clients in embedding sustainability into their procurement policies, strategies, and operations.
Sustainable procurement strengthens supply chain resilience, reduces risk exposure, and aligns procurement practices with broader ESG and corporate responsibility goals.
