Musgrave shortlisted for Best Green Procurement Project of the Year at National Procurement Awards 2025

Recognised in the 2025 awards programme, Musgrave has been named as a finalist at the National Procurement Awards 2025, shortlisted for Best Green Procurement Project of the Year for its Corporate Power Purchase Agreement initiative.

The nomination recognises Musgrave's strategic decision to transition its energy procurement model from natural gas hedges to a 100% Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with SSE Airtricity. The move aligns directly with the organisation's "Growing Sustainably Every Day" strategy, repositioning energy procurement as a core driver of long-term environmental and commercial objectives.

Under the agreement, Musgrave secures renewable electricity generated from wind farms across Wexford and Tyrone, embedding clean energy sourcing into its operational infrastructure. The transition delivers a dual commercial outcome — maintaining price certainty while simultaneously generating cost savings — demonstrating that sustainable procurement decisions need not compromise financial discipline.

Musgrave occupies a significant position within Ireland's retail and wholesale food sector, and the scale of its procurement activity amplifies the impact of strategic energy decisions across its wider supply chain and operational network. By anchoring its electricity supply to domestically generated renewable sources, the organisation advances its sustainability commitments while supporting Ireland's broader transition toward clean energy.

The Best Green Procurement Project of the Year shortlisting reflects Musgrave Indirect Procurement's ability to leverage strategic supplier partnerships to deliver measurable environmental outcomes alongside tangible commercial value.

As the 2026 awards cycle approaches, the question remains — who will take the spotlight at the National Procurement Awards 2026?
