In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, Australian businesses in sustainable procurement have shifted from viewing it as a nice-to-have to a must-have strategy. As the Australian government strengthens its commitment to environmental sustainability, businesses face increasing pressure to align their procurement practices with national guidelines. At Evolveable, we recognise this challenge and have designed our Impact Academy to be the bridge that connects businesses to sustainable procurement excellence.
Aligning with Australian Sustainable Procurement Guidelines
Environmental Impact Reduction
The Australian Government’s Sustainable Procurement Policy aims to “reduce the environmental impact of Australian Government procurements.” Our academy’s strong focus on circular economy principles directly supports this goal, providing businesses with the knowledge and tools to minimize their environmental footprint.
Practical Skill Development
The Sustainable Procurement Guide emphasises the need to “equip procurers with practical advice.” Our academy goes beyond theory, offering hands-on experiences and risk-free simulations. These practical elements help translate sustainability knowledge into actionable procurement strategies.
Strategic Decision-Making
Paragraph 4.5 of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules requires consideration of “environmental sustainability where relevant” when assessing value for money. Our academy enhances decision-making capabilities, enabling businesses to navigate sustainability trade-offs in procurement processes confidently.
Circular Economy Focus
The Australian Government is committed to “significantly increasing the use of recycled content.” Our academy’s emphasis on circular economy principles equips businesses to support this commitment and align with the National Waste Policy objectives.
Expert-Led Training
The procurement guidelines recommend “training and educating procurement teams” on sustainability trends and best practices. Led by experts like Leela Dilkes-Hoffman, our academy brings real-world experience and cutting-edge insights to the forefront of sustainable procurement.
Holistic Sustainability Understanding
The Sustainable Procurement Guide provides “general advice on procuring with environmental outcomes in mind.” Our academy offers a comprehensive approach to sustainability, simplifying complex concepts and providing systems thinking skills to address the multifaceted nature of sustainable procurement.
