Within the context of existing purchasing agreements and suppliers, the Sustainable Procurement Guide seeks to provide suggestions and assistance to help your office with sustainable procurement. The guide has focused on common items that are routinely purchased on campus. Each section highlights purchasing criteria that should be considered for a more sustainable product and identifies recommended products that are currently available through existing Queen’s suppliers.

The guide was developed by a sustainable procurement working group in 2015 and was recently updated in 2020.
