Description
Sustainability is becoming a key requirement for large-scale research infrastructures, supported in Europe by a demanding regulatory framework with directives and guidance on best practices.
This presentation will describe the evolution from the Environmentally Responsible Procurement Policy project to the CERN Sustainable Procurement project outlining how the Organization progressively embedded sustainability considerations into pre-procurement and procurement phases. In this context, risks in the supply chain, such as disruptions and price volatility, make sustainable procurement an essential lever for CERN resilience.
A particular focus is given to supplier engagement, including the development of a methodology to segment suppliers and define tailored action plans, aiming both to strengthen sustainability across the supply chain and to learn from the most sustainability-mature suppliers.
