Sustainable Procurement

Sustainable Procurement relates to consciously purchasing products and services that are produced in a socially responsible way.

Our Progress

• The Sustainable Procurement Working Group (established by the Provost), created a Sustainable Procurement Policy which was approved by College Board in 2019. 
• Sustainable Procurement guidelines are available for all staff involved in procurement of services and goods for Trinity.

Our Actions:

Trinity has adopted the objective of supporting green procurement practices to reduce resource consumption by eliminating unnecessary purchases and promoting resource sharing, which involves actions including:

• Implement the Top 50 Supplier Procurement Programme to engage with key suppliers to bring about environmental improvements throughout the supply chain. 
• Capture data through an online procurement platform which accesses the carbon footprint of the supply chain.
• Implement the Sustainable Procurement Policy across education, research and operations.

Our Sustainability Report details the progress that has been made in their implementation.
