» Laing O’Rourke Re-evaluates Procurement Approach to Enhance Sustainability with ISO 20400 Assessment​
Discover how Action Sustainability helped Laing O’Rourke take their procurement to even higher levels of sustainability by conducting a re-evaluation against the ISO 20400 standard.​
Having undertaken their first ISO 20400 evaluation in 2023, Laing O’Rourke wanted to have a re-evaluation to understand how far they have progressed over the intervening years in aligning their procurement approach to the ISO 20400 Standard.​
As with the first evaluation, Action Sustainability’s assessment and subsequent report’s findings and recommendations will help Laing O’Rourke take its procurement to even higher levels of sustainability.
We recently assessed Laing O’Rourke’s procurement practices to evaluate how effectively sustainability is embedded and implemented across its projects. Our approach included:​
“We are thrilled to have enhanced our maturity across sustainable procurement, a crucial component in the execution of our ambitious sustainability strategy. By addressing the recommendations from our initial assessment, we have successfully prioritised the necessary steps to develop, implement and embed robust practices. This concerted effort has resulted in an improved score, achieving ‘leading’ status. We are excited about continuing our journey of improvement in this space with our newly devised action plan.”
Laing O’Rourke was found to have significantly improved its approach to sustainable procurement and it is now assessed to be ‘leading’.​
This reflects a 23% increase on the initial assessment in 2023. The evaluation results give them an updated action plan to use across its business, helping them embed sustainability even further into its interactions and relationships with suppliers, contractors and stakeholders, as well as developing the sustainability capability of its employees.​
All of which contributes to achieving Laing O’Rourke’s ‘Pushing the boundaries’ sustainability goals and targets to reduce environmental impact while positively contributing to society, whether that’s its people, customers, or the communities they operate in.​
The ISO 20400 Standard is an ideal platform to use to assess and then improve your procurement, supply chain management and sustainability outcomes.
