A Shifting Landscape
South African enterprises are increasingly prioritising sustainability in their procurement decisions. Driven by regulatory pressure, investor expectations, and consumer demand, green procurement is no longer a nice-to-have — it is a strategic imperative.
Key Drivers
- Regulatory compliance: The Carbon Tax Act and NEMA amendments are making ESG compliance mandatory for many industries.
- Investor pressure: JSE-listed companies face increasing scrutiny on their sustainability reporting and supply chain practices.
- Consumer expectations: South African consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, driving demand for sustainable products.
- Cost savings: Energy efficiency and waste reduction translate directly to lower operating costs.
