Abstract: Abstract A self-evaluation tool for green procurement, which was developed in research projects, stimulates and thereby enhances the research’s impact beyond academia. Its application to Indian Railways raised awareness through surveys and workshops, facilitated the establishment of organizational structures, and by these means advanced the organization’s sustainable management. The Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council recognized this commitment of Sanjay Kumar with the Individual Leadership Award 2017.
