Case Study: Falmouth Exeter Plus achieves ISO 20400 sustainable procurement alignment with Action Sustainability

Falmouth Exeter Plus Aligns with ISO 20400 Standard for Sustainable Procurement Strategy

Falmouth Exeter Plus, which provides shared services for two universities, sought to lead the way in sustainable procurement within the higher education sector. Their challenge was to identify gaps in their processes and policies to build a more robust and sustainable supply chain. They engaged vendor Action Sustainability to perform an ISO 20400 gap analysis to achieve this goal.

Action Sustainability conducted a comprehensive review of documents and an interactive workshop with key stakeholders. This solution provided Falmouth Exeter Plus with a clear report and recommendations, which included an action plan with timescales and a focus on staff training. The outcome was increased confidence in their existing efforts and a defined path to further embed sustainability, ensuring clear accountabilities and improved supply chain relationships.
