Abstract
Amidst rapid industrial growth, the UAE's public sector plays a crucial role in national infrastructure. Traditional procurement practices in this sector have primarily focused on commercial and technical criteria, with far less emphasis on environmental sustainability. This reliance on carbon-intensive goods and services has markedly increased the sector's carbon footprint. This research uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to improve sustainable procurement decisions, aiming to substantially reduce carbon emissions within the UAE's public sector. By integrating a comprehensive set of criteria—environmental, economic, social, and technical—the study develops a detailed AHP framework to systematically evaluate and select procurement options that support sustainability objectives. The findings prioritize procurement practices that significantly reduce the sector's carbon footprint, thus aligning procurement strategies with the UAE's broader sustainability goals.
