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.
