Environmentally Preferable Purchasing

Here at Adelphi, our suppliers play a pivotal role in our Net Zero and B-Corp vision, engaging with best-in-class manufacturers. We are developing our own Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy ourselves, and are paying forward our experiences, successes, challenges and learnings to other like-minded businesses.

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) involves intentionally selecting products and services that have a reduced impact on human health and the environment, when compared to competing goods or services that serve the same purpose. This practice not only addresses the growing consumer demand for greener choices, but also supports broader corporate social responsibility goals.

For sustainably and ethically minded businesses, adopting EPP principles can lead to significant environmental benefits, cost savings, and enhanced brand reputation. This article explores the key considerations businesses should keep in mind when implementing EPP strategies, offering insights into best practices, challenges, and the advantages of prioritizing environmentally preferable products in your procurement processes.
