Want to Buy Green and Save Money?

If your organisation isn’t purchasing green products and services, why not?

 
Green purchasing is a proven way to reduce your environmental impacts, improve organisational efficiencies and deliver cost savings.  What’s more, it also means you are ‘walking the talk’ and demonstrating leadership to staff and encouraging suppliers to operate more sustainably.


The planned CPRS (Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme) will result in carbon-intensive products becoming more expensive than their less carbon-intensive alternatives, so now is the ideal time to make a start on your green purchasing journey by attending an ECO-Buy workshop.


Workshops are either a half-day or full day, with topics ranging from a practical introduction to the what, why and how of green purchasing to how to develop your purchasing policy, work with your supply chain to make it greener, or understand the difference between an authentically green product and ‘greenwash’.

ECO-Buy is an award winning not-for-profit Centre of Excellence in Environmental Purchasing, with nine years practical experience helping organisations in the public and private sectors successfully implement green purchasing.
