Sustainable Purchasing WG session at HNPW, 02/05/2024

The issue of the supply chain in humanitarian and development contexts has become increasingly important in recent years. The REH Carbon Working Group has established an average of between 40% and 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. There is therefore a real challenge to decarbonise our purchasing and supply chain (climate vision), but also to better integrate the 3 dimensions of Sustainable Development (socio-economic, environmental and social) into our activities.

The Working Group’s mission is to support member organisations in integrating the concepts of responsible and sustainable purchasing into their supply chains by exchanging and sharing experiences. It has notably published a Sustainable Procurement Criteria Database to help organisations to include sustainable criteria in procurement.

This session presented the work carried out to date and the prospects for the WG!
