Green procurement focuses on buying goods and services in ways that reduce environmental impact across their life cycle and improve sustainability performance. The best choice captures this by pointing to reducing environmental impact and achieving higher sustainability performance, which is exactly what green procurement aims for—factoring in how materials are sourced, energy use, emissions, waste, and end-of-life considerations in purchasing decisions. The other options miss the central aim: prioritizing the lowest price regardless of sustainability ignores environmental consequences; limiting procurement to digital services narrows scope and misses broader sustainability considerations; and buying from a single supplier relates to supply strategy, not environmental performance.
