ESG Tree

A tool for procurement professionals and organizations to apply European legislation

Request the ESG-tree

In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and responsible business — with a growing array of laws and regulations — Nevi has developed the ESG-tree (Environmental, Social, and Governance) for procurement.

Procurement professionals often feel overwhelmed by the scope of these requirements. This guide empowers organizations and procurement specialists to not only generate financial value but also to make a positive impact on their organization, society, and the environment. The ESG-tree serves as a valuable framework, presenting the key themes relevant to procurement, including climate change, biodiversity, workers’ rights, and corporate conduct.

For each theme, you’ll find essentials of pertinent legislation along with tips on how procurement professionals can add value. It also explains the interconnection between CSRD, OECD Guidelines, and the ISO 20400 sustainable procurement standard.

 

How the ESG‑tree is Structured

The Nevi ESG‑tree for procurement guides procurement professionals and organizations in applying European sustainability legislation. The tree consists of:

  • The soil: CSRD, CSDDD, ESRS, and OECD Guidelines form the foundation.
  • Three ESG branches with leaves: Together they cover ten ESG topics.
  • The roots: The tree is nourished by ten drivers, which can also be seen as benefits.
  • The watering can: Filled with the international ISO 20400 norm for sustainable procurement (MVI), which helps the tree to grow.


Each leaf in the ESG‑tree provides procurement-specific information on newly adopted European laws, while also highlighting regulations under consideration, allowing procurement teams to prepare in advance. Tips and tools are offered to help in interrogating suppliers.

Note: The ESG-tree has not yet been updated following the postponed “Stop the Clock” legislation.
