Sustainable procurement data guidance

Tips and best practices for the awards application

Body

Procurement touches every aspect of hospital operations. Collecting accurate information on the sustainability attributes and dollar spend of products and services that are purchased is an important element in measuring sustainable procurement success.

The applications require facility-specific data for supply chain. This may be challenging as most health care organizations have moved to system-wide procurement to best leverage their spend volume, and sometimes accessing site-specific volumes or spend is difficult. Where site-specific numbers are unavailable, Practice Greenhealth works closely with partners to determine the best calculation to allocate portions of spend or volume to specific facilities. Please contact your sustainability strategy manager for more information.
