- Reduce the environmental and social impacts from the purchase and use of products;
- Empower department and university purchasing staff to innovate and incorporate best-practice sustainability strategies and practices in procurement decisions;
- Communicate CU’s commitment to sustainable procurement by modeling the best product and service choices.
