Green Accord is an award-winning project that works with businesses to improve commitment towards sustainability and manage environmental responsibilities more effectively throughout the supply chain.

A recognised standard

The Green Accord scheme is a proven accreditation that drives sustainability, addresses the expanding environmental responsibilities facing businesses, and ensures that sustainability is embedded throughout supply chains and organisations' procurement structure.

The benefits

The scheme provides a range of benefits for the client organisation and the supply chain, including:

• Free, best-practice sustainable supply chain tool
• Measurement of carbon in your supply chain
• Adds value to supplier relationships and ensures achievement of environmental standards for all sizes of supplier
• Improved services and potential reduced cost, through added value from Green Accord practices and long term efficiency savings
• Improves business perception, both internal and external
• The self assessment informs targeted interventions, such as providing EMS Easy training  where a large proportion of the supply chain don’t have an Environmental Management System (EMS)

Supplier benefits include:

• Reduced costs through environmental impact reductions and long-term operational efficiencies
• Demonstration of  green credentials to create new business opportunities, secure/grow market share and increase income
• Improved staff engagement, productivity, recruitment and retention, and a better relationship with the local community
