We assess offices on their sustainable purchasing practices, such as purchasing through local businesses, utilizing the UCSC Green Purchasing Guide, purchasing green electronics, and purchasing Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) paper. If your office needs more help on understanding sustainable purchasing, please look at the valuable resources below.
