Sept. 29, 2008 - Procurement professionals are fast becoming a "critical, core element" of corporate sustainability efforts, a new survey finds.
While many companies are focusing their main efficiency efforts around green IT, the use of automated procurement solutions is "quietly emerging as the leading edge of many organizations' efforts to go green," according to the survey by KPMG, Inc.
The survey of 600 senior-level procurement professionals finds that 42% of respondents regularly evaluate suppliers on environmental and human rights performance. Another 33% have begun, or are currently launching, a green supply chain program.
