Better Buying 2025 Insights: Navigating Global Volatility and Defining the Next Steps for Better Purchasing Practices

Across the industry, we’re seeing a growing number of verbal commitments to long-term, balanced buyer–supplier relationships. But 63% of suppliers surveyed by Vogue Business report that brands expect them to advance sustainability while continuing to squeeze margins; a financially untenable partnership for all.

How do we pursue shared responsibility? It starts with supplier voices. The Better Buying Purchasing Practices Index (BBPPI) from Cascale’s Better Buying offers the most comprehensive evidence of what fair and responsible purchasing truly looks like. By centering the supplier perspective across seven key indicators, the BBPPI helps buyers identify where their practices are supporting — or undermining — their own sustainability ambitions.
