Overview
Greener purchasing policies remain the exception rather than the norm in large organizations. This study explores why this is the case, and is designed to facilitate the development and dissemination of best practice world wide. Divided into four sections, covering ""The Public Sector"", ""The Private Sector"", ""Innovations"" and ""Case Studies"", it brings together international expertise from four continents, including contributions from organizations such as US EPA, Environment Canada, Proctor & Gamble, Xerox and The Body Shop, as well as burgeoning new initiatives such as the Japanese and European Green Purchasing Networks. It provides a number of checklists and examples on how to establish and maintain successful greener purchasing and supply chain practices in order to bring not only environmental, but business value to organizations of all sizes.
