If you’ve ever been curious about some of the cost savings associated with green purchasing look no further!
Promoting your green
Green initiatives and sustainable living are now an everyday part of our lives, and in many cases our personal purchases are decided by the environmental impact one product may have over another.
Businesses of all sizes are now also compelled to look at, and where possible, make purchasing decisions based on sustainable and environmental impacts. It’s not just the global legislators who are leading and mandating this green corporate approach, but also the investors and boards of these companies, with most companies committing to radical upheaval and ambitious green targets.
Here at ShipServ, we are a signatory member of the United Nations Global Compact and are proud to promote their activities. We are also aligned to a number of the most relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - Read More Here
We also actively encourage our suppliers to be committed to sustainability, and to help them, we enable them to upload their ISO certifications, and green credentials directly into their company profile. This way, we can display a ‘Committed to Sustainability’ logo alongside their company details in search results. Not only that, but we also have a dedicated ‘Sustainable’ search filter, which means only fully compliant suppliers show up, so increasing high quality results, and simplified sustainable procurement.

2. Use the Sustainable profile to differentiate yourself from your competitors.
3. Increase opportunity to be found by appearing under a clear priority filter i.e the Sustainable button.
4. Make being sustainable part of your value proposition to buyers.
