Case Study: ISCA strengthens sustainable procurement in infrastructure with Action Sustainability

ISCA Enhances Supply Chain Sustainability Through Tailored Procurement Strategies

The Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) sought to advance sustainable procurement within the infrastructure industry. To achieve this, they commissioned Action Sustainability, together with a partner, to develop a new Sustainable Procurement category for their IS rating scheme, aligning it with international best practices while ensuring it remained practical for the sector.

Action Sustainability consulted key stakeholders, reviewed international standards, and designed the new category. This solution positioned ISCA at the leading edge of sustainable procurement, enabling the council to reward best practices like tailored strategies and supplier development. The outcome influenced over $75 billion in infrastructure projects across Australia and New Zealand, generating significant positive legacy outcomes within their supply chains.
