Sustainability at ICAM
Every purchase has a social, economic, cultural, and environmental impact. Social procurement is about using your existing purchasing to capture those impacts to achieve overarching institutional or governmental goals such as social and environmental sustainability. In the healthcare sector, this includes improving social determinants of health through your procurement practices.
Learn more about the what, why and how of social procurement in healthcare in this webinar and case study resource (in English only).
