For buyers: BME Certification for Sustainable Procurement Organization

You want to know how sustainable your procurement is? Then get certified by BME.

With the BME sustainability certification, companies have the opportunity to carry out a BME sustainability check. Entry (Level 1) into the certification consists of a self-analysis in the form of a standardized and guided questionnaire and the submission of a voluntary commitment to establish sustainable procurement. Upon successful completion of the self-audit, participants receive an award in the form of a certificate. The voluntary commitment will support your organization in integrating sustainable procurement into existing procurement structures in a structured manner and with that build a solid base for future adaptations.

Your advantages

Recognition of your commitment to sustainable procurement by a neutral body

Structured approach to integrate sustainability in existing procurement organizations in a structured, sustainable way

Minimization of risks within your procurement organization

Take out the guess work and save resources: Support and guideline documents (manuals, guidelines, catalogue of measures) will lead you along the way
