Sustainable procurement is a superpower
Learn how 10 public sector organizations in Canada are working to leverage their buying power to accelerate climate action and the transition to a circular economy.
Let's flex our buying power to drive a circular economy
Purchases made by Canadian public sector organizations account for 13.3% (~$200B CAD) of Canada’s GDP, yet the vast majority of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) do not consider sustainability as a key factor in procurement decisions.
Our white paper, Buying a Better Future: Insights from a Sustainable Procurement IT Project, highlights the lessons learned from a pilot with 10 public sector organizations on their journey to green their IT procurement practices. The report outlines the key learnings on the barriers and opportunities organizations face in advancing sustainable procurement and effective strategies to make progress. This pilot was supported by HP Canada.
