Sustainable commissioning
Coventry City Council is committed to ensuring its operations are environmentally sustainable and resilient to future climate change. The Council is aware that their procurement of goods, works and services will have environmental implications, both in their respective local areas and around the planet and, as a result, the Council is actively working to reduce and minimize these negative effects where possible. Environmentally sustainable procurement is the commissioning, sourcing and contract management of goods, works and services in a way that reduces or negates negative environmental impacts within the supply chain. Given the Council’s significant procurement of goods, works and services in the region, we have the opportunity to work with our suppliers to drive significant carbon reductions, improve the natural environment and make meaningful climate action in our commissioning. Our adult social care commissioning incorporates environmental sustainability as a requirement in our contractual arrangements.
