ISO 20400, launched in 2017, is the world’s first international standard for sustainable procurement. It provides guidance for organizations to:

•Manage supplier relations: Ensuring ethical and sustainable practices in the supply chain.

•Reduce environmental impact: Promoting eco-friendly purchasing decisions.

•Tackle human rights issues: Addressing social responsibilities like fair labor practices.

The CIPS L3M6 module recognizes ISO 20400 as a comprehensive framework integrating all these aspects into procurement strategies.
