Case Study: National Trust transforms procurement with Action Sustainability’s materiality assessment

National Trust Transforms their Procurement Process Through a Materiality Assessment

The National Trust engaged Action Sustainability to support their transformation towards more sustainable procurement. Their challenge was to identify the key sustainability risks and opportunities within their extensive supply chain to improve the effectiveness of their procurement processes in meeting broader organizational goals.

Action Sustainability conducted a materiality assessment for the National Trust, which involved reviewing documents, interviewing key stakeholders, and facilitating category-specific workshops. This process identified strategic priorities and produced detailed heatmaps of risks and opportunities. The outcome was a comprehensive report from Action Sustainability that provided the Trust with a toolbox for managing category-level risks and a clear roadmap for implementing a stronger, more holistic sustainable procurement strategy.
