The Impact of Sustainable Procurement on Doing Business

The purpose of this paper is to compare and present the theoretical findings of established authors with recent articles and literature on the topic of sustainable procurement and its impact on doing business. The goal of this paper is to connect theoretical knowledge of the above-mentioned topic with consumer attitudes towards current sustainability issues in trade as well as to analyse the introduction and impact of sustainable procurement in business based on a practical example. In this example, the author’s goal is to determine the effects of the introduction of the sustainable procurement model and its consequences on the social, economic and environmental aspects of doing business. Objective conclusions were reached that will help people from different fields to assess and understand the impact of sustainable procurement on doing business. This decade is crucial for balancing economic, environmental and social aspects, especially after the sobering period of the COVID-19 crisis, which highlighted several problems, including the issue or rather lack of the sustainable aspect of doing long-term business in both the public and private sectors.
