Why should my organisation sign up to the Green Procurement Code?
The combined purchasing power of London based companies has huge potential to positively tackle the capital's waste problem, reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the Mayor of London’s target of cutting the capital’s carbon emissions by 60% by 2025. By signing up the Green Procurement Code you can reduce the effects of your activities on the environment.
Consumers are increasingly demanding products that are manufactured and delivered in an environmentally responsible way. Consumer support lies with companies promoting a green agenda. Implementing environmental measures such as green purchasing can raise your corporate profile and help win new business.
We will provide you with the tools you need to improve your environmental credentials, keep up with your competitors and help make London a sustainable world city.
