Abstract

This research study illustrates the growing importance of sustainable purchasing practices and answers two important questions: what is the current awareness of organizations on sustainable purchasing practices and to what extent are these practices being implemented? The research conducted is based upon an in-depth literature review of green purchasing and sustainability initiatives. With an ever increasing global economy with no intention of slowing down it is ever important to look towards sustainability practices and the biggest impact organizations can make is in the purchasing department. The researcher's methodology and ending results show the current awareness and implementation of organizations who participate in sustainable purchasing practices (SPP).
