Sustainability is one of the biggest buzzwords in business; but how many organisations and decision makers really know what it means and are striving for a sea change, rather than just paying lip service to the growing call to prioritise environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues? According to sustainability, ESG and modern slavery specialist Carsten Primdal, there is a sustainability knowledge gap that is preventing many firms from making meaningful progress and delivering real value through their sustainability programmes.

The implementation of sustainable procurement practices is gaining momentum as more businesses recognise the power that buying and sourcing decisions have as critical levers to protect and grow long-term environmental, social, and economic value for themselves, their supply chain partners and the communities in which they operate.
