Abstract: A procurement management system and automated computer-implemented method for providing users with eco-friendly alternatives found in the marketplace. A procurement management system gives businesses of all size the ability to streamline their buying process and make this process more efficient and cost effective. The computer-implemented method is driven by a processor that queries for eco-friendly merchandise, similar to that of the products queried by the user. This automated computer-implemented method calculates and presents to customers (a) the number of trees saved; (b) the number of British Thermal Units saved; (c) the number of gallons of water saved; and (d) the pounds of CO2 equivalent saved due in part to all such customer purchases of environmentally friendly or “green” products.
