Sustainable procurement in the Queensland Government
These pages provide information and resources to assist Queensland Government agencies to implement sustainable practices. It also provides suppliers to government with information about how to do business with government in an environmental and ethical way.
The Queensland Government Chief Procurement Office informs and educates Queensland Government agencies about the benefits of sustainable procurement and integrating sustainability practices into the procurement of goods, services and construction.
Sustainable procurement is an essential part of the Queensland Government's commitment to sustainable development and to protecting the environment, and to doing business with socially responsible and ethical suppliers.
Sustainable procurement policy and government priorities
The State Procurement Policy requires Queensland government agencies to integrate sustainability practices into the procurement of goods, services and construction. In considering the environmental and ethical factors throughout the procurement process, agencies will:
- help to achieve the objectives of the State Procurement Policy.
- advance the ambitions and targets outlined in the Queensland Government's vision to 2020.
- achieve value for money.
