Embedding Sustainability & ESG in Procurement

More and more companies are making sustainability and ESG criteria mandatory – yet in negotiations these are often dismissed as "soft factors." Buyers who hold firm on these issues send a clear signal: future-readiness and responsibility are just as important as price and performance.

Scenario

In this training, you experience a conversation in which your supplier tries to minimize the importance of sustainability or to cut it short with superficial commitments. As long as you accept this, ESG topics remain non-binding. Only when you set clear requirements, demonstrate long-term advantages, and demand evidence does the supplier open up and integrate ESG into their offer.

Learnings

  • Place sustainability and ESG commitments firmly in negotiations
  • Counter objections with confidence
  • Combine economic and sustainability perspectives
  • Demand proof and standards in a targeted way
  • Shape supplier partnerships to be future-proof
