**London**: Action Sustainability has received the SPLC 2024 Leadership Award in the ‘Public Interest Advocate’ category for its ISO20400.org initiative, which supports sustainable procurement practices. The award highlights the organisation’s commitment to enhancing social, environmental, and economic outcomes globally.
Action Sustainability has been honoured with the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council’s (SPLC) 2024 Leadership Award in the ‘Public Interest Advocate’ category. This accolade highlights the organisation’s significant contributions to improving environmental, social, and economic outcomes through pioneering sustainable purchasing initiatives.
The initiative recognised is ISO20400.org, a globally established platform that champions sustainable procurement practices.

The platform is overseen by a Steering Group comprising 23 experts in sustainable procurement from 19 nations, and has gained a reputation as a leading resource for best practices in this sector.
Shaun McCarthy OBE, Co-Founder of Action Sustainability, conveyed his pride in the recognition. In an interview with Facilities Management Journal, he stated, “We are incredibly proud that ISO20400.org has been recognised with this award. Our mission has always been to empower organisations of all sizes, across the globe, with the knowledge and tools needed to make sustainable procurement a reality. This recognition from SPLC reaffirms the importance of collaboration and shared learning in driving meaningful change.”
Marc Heisterkamp, CEO of the SPLC, expressed enthusiasm about celebrating Action Sustainability’s achievements, stating, “SPLC is thrilled to celebrate Action Sustainability’s exceptional leadership in sustainable procurement. Their innovative approach and measurable results demonstrate the transformative power of sustainable procurement and serve as an inspiration to other organizations seeking to make a positive impact.”
