Priority purchasing categories
Maximised benefit for people and the environment
We work to promote sustainable procurement in an effective and cost-efficient way. To maximise the benefit for people and the environment, areas with the greatest sustainability risks are prioritised.
A risk analysis has therefore been conducted for all purchasing categories across the regions. The priority purchasing categories for 2023–2025 are shown in the illustration below. The letters A–H indicate the responsible area.
