Abstract
"The Sustainable Purchasing Guideline aims to improve the social and environmental sustainability impact of procurement decisions at UGA.
This document lays out strategies for making sustainable product and service purchases. While recommendations in this document are not mandatory, they should be strongly considered when making purchases for the University of Georgia.
Keep in mind, some purchases are limited by state or federal laws or grants or contracts that require purchase from a particular vendor. This guideline does not apply to cases that are subject to limitations imposed by federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and DOAS, University System of Georgia, and University of Georgia policies. For reference, UGA procurement policies can be found at https://policies.uga.edu/Purchasing-and-Payment-Processing/.
Purpose: To provide information and resources to procure products that promote stewardship of resources and minimize negative impacts on society and the environment to the greatest extent practicable."
