This commitment reflects Sykehusinnkjøp’s dedication to integrating more sustainable and ethical practices into its ICT procurement processes.
By joining CFIT, Sykehusinnkjøp becomes part of a growing international network of public and procuring participants, and supporting organisations, all focused on enhancing the social and environmental impact of ICT products. CFIT promotes circular practices, fair working conditions, and responsible sourcing within ICT supply chains. For Sykehusinnkjøp, this collaboration offers valuable opportunities to engage with like-minded organisations, furthering the shift toward more sustainable procurement strategies within the healthcare sector.

The CFIT Pact is based on voluntary cooperation and shared goals. The inclusion of Sykehusinnkjøp strengthens this commitment, highlighting the growing global recognition of procurement as an effective tool for influencing the production and consumption of ICT products. Through joint efforts, public sector actors can contribute to a more sustainable and socially responsible ICT sector. Sykehusinnkjøp’s involvement also reflects the broader interest among public sector organizations worldwide in using procurement to shape responsible practices in the ICT sector.
