Workplace Sustainability: 08. Green Purchasing

In the Workplace Sustainability: 08. Green Purchasing elearning course, we explore how to select environmentally sustainable products for your organization. Part of your green policy at work should also include Environmentally Preferable Purchasing, or Green Purchasing. By investing in green products and appliances throughout your facilities, you’re not only making your facility more energy efficient, but also more cost efficient. In this course, we’ll cover the meaning of green purchasing and the practical steps you can take to integrate it into your company’s buying standards. We will also discuss the Energy Star designation as a useful tool for identifying green products. You’ll get an overview of green purchasing initiatives, using graphics and checklists to call out key concepts worth noting.
