How Sustainable Choice Supports Councils & Suppliers
Sustainable procurement is now a prerequisite of good procurement practice. Organisations are expected to consider environmental impact, social value, ethical sourcing, and modern slavery risk throughout the procurement process.
Whether you need advice, training, tools, or help improving your process, LGP's Sustainable Choice experts give you practical support to embed sustainability into procurement.
Our approach is designed to help councils build capability and help suppliers better understand what local government is looking for.
