Green Procurement
Introduction
The public sector, through its internal operations and procurement practices, has an integral role in promoting environmental awareness and Sustainable Development. Government departments and publicly funded agencies will be required to apply Sustainable Development principles in their operations.
The economy, the environment, human health and social well-being should be managed for the equal benefit of both present and future generations and economic decisions, including purchasing decisions, should adequately take into account their environmental, human health and social consequences.
