This case study explores how PAS 2090 can support healthcare procurement by strengthening environmental requirements and improving supplier engagement.
Norway’s national procurement organization, Sykehusinnkjøp, is piloting PAS 2090 within its hospital procurement system, embedding consistent environmental information requirements into tender documentation rather than assessing individual products.
Healthcare procurement organizations are under increasing pressure to integrate sustainability into purchasing decisions while maintaining reliable supply chains. However, the absence of a harmonized methodology for measuring environmental impacts across pharmaceutical products has made it difficult to compare supplier data or identify lifecycle hotspots. Suppliers often report environmental metrics using different approaches, creating fragmented requirements and limiting trust in the results.
PAS 2090 provides a standardized lifecycle assessment methodology that enables measurement and reporting of the environmental impact of pharmaceutical products. In Norway’s procurement model, the standard is used to embed environmental data directly into tender documentation, encouraging suppliers to disclose product-level environmental information and validated carbon footprints. PAS 2090 supports more transparent evaluation, strengthens supplier engagement and enables procurement teams to incentivize continuous environmental improvement.
