Procurement

Our focus on procurement includes efforts to increase usage of green products in the office, classroom and building materials, and to encourage adoption of a paperless procurement process.

Actions and Activities

Expectations

Our expectations to go further and greener include these procurement goals from our Sustainability Plan (PDF):

Creation of a comprehensive commodity “product map” surveying and listing opportunities for the college to purchase green in other commodity areas.
Organization of an education and training tips sheet on green procurement practices.
Raise the green product procurement baseline to comprise 28% of the college expenses on goods and services by year 2028.
