| Abstract | The objectives of this review article are to discuss: 1) definitions and importance of SP; 2) development and process of ISO 20400 standard SP; and 3) challenges and recommendations for the successful implementation of the ISO 20400 SP guidance standard. The article used state-of-the art literature review methodology relevant to the stated objectives. The findings reveal that ISO 20400 is important as it provides guidelines for integrating sustainable issues into the procurement process of an organization but has some challenges in its implementation process, such as cost, lack of management support, sustainability labels, marks, and certifications, which can be overcome when an organization takes into account these challenges in the procurement process for implementing sustainably. Steps for successful implementation of SP include: i) proper planning; ii) integrating sustainability features; iii) selecting suppliers; iv) managing sustainably; and v) evaluating and improving sustainability performance. In spite of having many steps and challenges for implementation, most organizations that have implemented SP firmly believe that the benefits are much greater than the challenges, as it helps in achieving sustainable development objectives. |
