Sustainable procurement

At Fraunhofer, we are aware that procurement can play a crucial role in advancing sustainable development. Establishing sustainable procurement practices is important in order to reduce environmental impact, assume social responsibility and act economically in the long term.

Sustainable procurement management allows us to ensure that products and services are produced using ecofriendly methods, social standards are upheld, and resources are used efficiently. This can minimize negative impacts on people and the environment.

Especially in the era of globalization, sustainable procurement is essential in ensuring that social and environmental standards are upheld at every step of the supply chain and resources are used as sparingly as possible. In this way, Fraunhofer can do its part to advance the sustainable development of global markets and supply chains.
