  • The transformative role of sustainable procurement in decarbonising the construction industry   Order a copy of this article
    by Elisa Sipp, Justine Marty, Laetitia Tosi 
    Abstract: Our study examines the crucial need for decarbonisation in the construction industry, focusing on the procurement function's role in driving sustainability. Employing a dual methodology, we conducted bibliometric analysis to explore academic discourse on sustainable procurement and semi-structured interviews with procurement professionals. This approach aims to understand how procurement practices adapt to integrate CSR principles and achieve low-carbon goals. Our findings reveal a significant transformation within procurement, highlighting buyers' pivotal role in decarbonisation. They face challenges in balancing economic gains with environmental performance, mitigated by enhanced sustainability integration. Despite progress, sectoral sustainability gaps and the need for substantial green investments persist, necessitating further exploration and strategic action.
    Keywords: sustainable procurement; circular economy; recycling; life cycle assessments; wasterials.
