The impact of ‘Green Procurement’
Green Procurement - the industry appreciates the need for change and cutting carbon. Soon we will be obligated to achieve reductions, but how do we implement the use of new processes and materials? We discuss what needs to be done to prepare procurement for change and in cases where sustainability costs more, whether we are ready to pay for it and whether there are routes to funding to help?
