Sustainable Sourcing & Supply Chain Transformation:
Innovation In Procurement – IPCS has worked with organizations to drive impactful and measurable change through Sustainable Sourcing and Supply Chain Transformation. As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards become central to procurement strategies, we help clients turn sustainability commitments into operational action across sourcing, supplier engagement, and supply chain design.
Our comprehensive offering covers sustainable sourcing, carbon footprint evaluation, sustainability certifications, UAE’s In-Country Value (ICV) compliance, and transformation strategies—empowering procurement functions to lead the sustainability agenda.
Sustainable Sourcing & Supply
We help organizations build sourcing strategies that align with their ESG goals. This includes integrating environmental and social considerations into every step of the procurement process—from supplier selection and contract management to performance evaluation and renewal.
Our services include:
- Developing sustainable sourcing policies
- Embedding ESG criteria into RFQs, RFPs, and supplier scorecards
- Mapping and assessing high-risk categories and suppliers
- Supporting supplier development programs to improve ESG compliance
- Building internal procurement capability to evaluate sustainability in sourcing
We work closely with your procurement and category teams to ensure sustainability is not just a check-box but a core decision-making factor.
Carbon Footprint Evaluation & Sustainable Certifications
Understanding and managing Scope 3 emissions is crucial in achieving sustainability targets. We provide comprehensive support in evaluating the carbon footprint of your supply chain, including:
- Supplier-level emissions data collection
- Category-specific carbon impact analysis
- Identification of carbon hotspots and reduction opportunities
- Baseline assessments for internal and external reporting
We also support organizations and suppliers in attaining or aligning with sustainability certifications such as ISO 14001, FSC, LEED, Fair Trade, and EcoVadis, helping you build a trusted, transparent supply chain.
In-Country Value (ICV) Strategy – UAE Focus
For organizations operating in the UAE, ICV compliance is an essential part of procurement strategy. We help companies:
- Align sourcing activities with ICV guidelines
- Integrate local suppliers into procurement pipelines
- Balance ICV scoring with sustainability and performance requirements
- Report and optimize ICV performance through sourcing decisions
Our ICV advisory is tailored to UAE regulations and supports both government-linked and private sector clients in maximizing local content while driving sustainability.
