Buyers of digital solutions expect suppliers to demonstrate a genuine commitment to all aspects of sustainability. Supplier selection must, therefore focus on choosing climate-conscious partners aligning with the same goals as these play into their net-zero ambitions.

However, finding suppliers that accurately report their investment in sustainability can be difficult for procurement teams. Unfortunately, some businesses have been known to ‘stretch’ the truth during the procurement process, devaluing others who commit to a closely curated strategy.

To go further, Aceni is now verified by the Green Web Foundation, which certifies the digital platform is powered by green energy.
