Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D, E, F

Not-for-profit organizations operate without the primary goal of profit, focusing instead on social or environmental missions. From the list:

* Oxfam, Save the Children, The Red Cross, and The United Nations are not-for-profit entities dedicated to humanitarian, developmental, or peacekeeping goals, often with sustainable procurement policies aligned with CSR.

* Apple and Pepsi are for-profit corporations focused on commercial success.

The CIPS L3M6 module highlights not-for-profits as key players in sustainable procurement due to their mission-driven nature.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think The Red Cross is also a not-for-profit. I might be mixing it up with other organizations though.
