An internal CO₂ price in procurement policy makes climate impact visible before a purchase decision is made. Instead of treating emissions as an external effect, procurement can translate CO₂-eq into a management signal for specifications, supplier choices and investment decisions.
In the Check CO₂-eq reduction-management work, this fits a practical approach to steering on emissions. The point is not only to calculate a footprint afterwards, but to use CO₂-eq information earlier in the process, where policy, budgets and contracts still influence the outcome.
