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.
