Environmentally-Preferred Purchasing

We continue to emphasize the basics of REDUCE and REUSE prior to consuming.

And for those supplies needed to deliver your mission, we help lend support to the green economy by locating businesses whose daily operations follow the sustainability ethic.

Buying supplies from vendors that are environmentally responsible extends your organization’s sustainability efforts into the marketplace. Many vendors specialize in sustainable manufacturing:

• Recycled materials
• Bio-based materials
• Processes that use less toxins
• Equipment that use less energy
• Energy-efficient manufacturing
• Localized supply chains
• Fair trade agreements with overseas producers

Our consultants will evaluate your organization’s supply needs and identify areas where environmental purchasing will have the most effect. We then connect you with vendors to find green alternatives to the basic supplies already in use at your facilities (such as office supplies, compostable foodware, toner cartridges, etc.).

We support businesses who have been certified under the Green Business Program.
