Drawing on the hard work and success stories of the CCSP’s network of 41 member institutions from coast to coast, this report highlights national sustainable procurement trends, showcases CCSP member accomplishments, and features success stories from across Canada.
Staff turnover and supply chain volatility are nothing new, but the impact of these challenges hit procurement teams hard this year. Despite this, we saw a wave of announcements of new sustainable procurement related policies, action plans, and programs being unveiled from public sector organizations – indicating a noticeable increase of discussion coming particularly from Councils, Boards, and other levels of senior leadership.
What’s in this years’ report?
The report highlights emerging and evolving trends and best practices in sustainable public procurement and profiles the developments and success stories from CCSP members. You can find our guiding 10-point Best Practice Framework for a high-performing program on page 14.
Read on to see what else you can find in the report.
2022 Trends in Sustainable Procurement – We featured a fresh take on ten hot topics in sustainable purchasing across the country. Things like circularity beyond waste reduction, transformation to electric vehicles, the use of supplier portals to operationalize supplier diversity, and Indigenous procurement.
