About
this Conference
But what
is Sustainable Procurement?
Sustainable
procurement means purchasing goods and services in ways that
maximise positive benefits and minimise negative impacts on
society, the economy and the environment throughout the full
life-cycle of the product.
Across
the UK various targets and directives have been the motivator
for change, including:
- Climate
Change Levy
- Recycling
Targets
- WEEE
Directive
- Landfill
Tax
Sustainable
procurement, however, requires buyers and suppliers to consider
the following factors when procuring goods and services:
- Green
Procurement
- Ethical
Consumption
- Corporate
Responsibility
In considering
these factors in all purchasing decisions the targets and
directives above will be much more attainable.
Why
Attend?
The National
Sustainable Procurement Conference and Exhibition will be
the
leading forum for discussion and networking for public sector
personnel involved
in procurement. This event will provide you with a unique
opportunity to network with a highly influential audience
of procurement personnel from across all areas of the public
sector. Any company which is already involved with, or is
considering becoming involved with, the public sector would
greatly benefit by attending this event.
