It is important to view procurement as a tool in fostering sustainable economic growth and development. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is a significant purchaser, among the largest – if not the largest – in the province. Through the increased valuation of environmental sustainability, and by integrating environmental considerations in its procurement process, the provincial government can improve its own environmental performance and influence the demand for environmentally preferable goods and services in the process.
econext is appreciative of the opportunity to contribute to the development of new environmental procurement processes, a policy which it has been advocating for since 2016. The inclusion of environmental sustainability criteria within government procurement will lead to better environmental outcomes for the province and open the door for clean growth innovation.
