Levels to achieve

The Charter framework guides companies to establish, document and implement Sustainable Procurement in 3 different levels according to the availability of organisational resources. In joining the Charter, your company is committed to implement the 8 themes and the Green Council will assess to measure and recognise the level of achievements:

​

Level - 1: Established (No assessment is required.)

Level - 2: Mature (Completion on Level 1 and 2 criteria.)

Level - 3: Leading (Completion on Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 criteria.)

The Green Council is inviting companies to participate in our Sustainable Procurement Charter as a means to develop, document and implement Sustainable Procurement with reference to ISO 20400.
