EarthCheck Company Standard Version 4.2 2.4.6: Local Goods and Services

What does 2.4.6 require?

A documented procurement Policy gives priority to locally produced goods and services where feasible, weighing sustainability credentials, traceability and ethics; local suppliers get fair and open access to tenders with engagement and selection records kept; long-term partnerships and capacity building with local makers, craftspeople and service firms are pursued; and the local share of purchasing is tracked and reported at least yearly, with exceptions justified.
