Sustainable Procurement Index for Health

The Sustainable Procurement Index for Health (SPIH) is a globally established, recognized and adaptable measurement tool for policy makers, manufacturers, suppliers, procurers, and health care facilities end users. This tool provides an incentive for entities to improve their environmental and social sustainability record. The SPIH monitors greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion (water, energy and material consumption), chemical/toxic impact on human and environmental health, and human rights, labour rights and gender equality. The SPIH consists of a set of questions and a scoring approach across for key themes which can be used when sourcing or managing suppliers.
