About

As a purchaser of virtually every product and service imaginable, the public sector is perfectly positioned to make a real and long-lasting social and environmental difference. Public procurement has a powerful role to play in ensuring that we not only maximise the benefit of every pound we spend in order to conserve funds, but also preserve and repair the environment for those in the future.

 

This one-day public sector conference will provide delegates with a unique insight into the recent developments and outline the Scottish Government’s current sustainability goals and how they can be achieved. Bringing together leading environmental experts from across the community, this event will look at how sustainability can be effectively and easily incorporated into everyday procurement practices.
