Whitlock Software is procuring new servers. The PM discovers that the preferred low-cost vendor's hardware has double the 'embodied carbon' of a slightly more expensive competitor. The project charter has a specific 'ESG compliance' clause but the procurement budget is tight.
What is the PM's first responsibility?
- Select the high-carbon, low-cost vendor to stay within the tight project budget.
- Inform the vendor that they must reduce their embodied carbon by 50% to be considered.
- Consult the organization's sustainability policy to determine the specific definition and threshold for 'ESG compliance.'
- Reject the high-carbon vendor because their product violates the spirit of the charter clause, without revisiting the agreed prioritization criteria.
