Introduction to ISO 20400
ISO 20400 is an internationally accepted guideline that helps organizations implement sustainable procurement practices. It supports businesses in integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into their purchasing decisions, driving responsible and ethical supply chain strategies.
The standard emphasizes:
- Integrating sustainability into procurement policies and frameworks
- Identifying and mitigating risks and seizing opportunities
- Structuring and executing sustainable procurement plans
- Monitoring and enhancing procurement performance
- Fostering active engagement among all supply chain participants
Stakeholder involvement is a cornerstone of ISO 20400, as collaboration across the supply chain is essential for successful sustainable procurement.
Why ISO 20400 Is Important
With rising global focus on sustainability—driven by regulations, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and public expectations—organizations must demonstrate responsible procurement behaviours.
ISO 20400 training equips professionals to help organizations align procurement functions with sustainability objectives. It provides a strategic framework for building responsible sourcing policies that benefit people, the planet, and profitability.
The standard helps organizations:
- Support fair labour and human rights
- Meet environmental standards and obligations
- Foster equitable economic development through procurement
Earning an ISO 20400 certification shows that you have the skills to guide organizations in developing procurement systems that are responsible, sustainable, and globally respected.
