Case Study: London Universities Purchasing Consortium achieves leading sustainable procurement performance with Action Sustainability

London Universities Purchasing Consortium Advances Procurement Process with Full ISO20400 Evaluation

The London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC) sought to measure the impact of its sustainable procurement initiatives over a five-year period. Having previously adopted the ISO 20400 standard, LUPC engaged Action Sustainability to perform a full evaluation to understand their performance and identify areas for further improvement.

Action Sustainability conducted a comprehensive assessment involving a document review and staff interviews. The resulting analysis confirmed LUPC had maintained a leading, sector-leading standard in sustainable procurement despite external challenges. The vendor provided a detailed action plan with recommendations to further upskill staff, align strategy with risks, and enhance supplier relationships, thereby solidifying LUPC's continuous improvement journey.
