Sustainable Procurement Policy (including Fairtrade)

We recognise that procurement has a significant impact on the environment and, as
such, we are committed to reducing this impact as much as possible. This Sustainable Procurement Policy reflects the principles for a pan-university procurement strategy,
production, and service; and is in keeping with the University’s wider environmental
sustainability policies, Climate Action Progress and commitment towards the People
and Planet Campaign.

The purpose of this policy is to outline the University’s position in relation to the
management of sustainable and ethical procurement and its commitment to the
Fairtrade University Award.
