Green Procurement

SGS can inform your purchasing manager when it comes to implementing sustainable practices and ecodesign services in line with consumer trends.

Due to growing public awareness consumers are increasingly including environmental criteria in their purchasing trends. They are looking for products that:

• Consume less energy
• Consume less raw material and produce less waste, such as packaging
• Help the development of small producers (fair trade)
• Are manufactured in a way that is less damaging to the environment
• Minimize the overall carbon footprint
