Notes de l'éditeur
- Approach/Plan Environmental - Sustainable – environmental, social and fiscal Ordinance – Sustainable Purchasing Policy High level intent - Updated legislation/code Authorizes use of ecolabels Executive Policy – Sustainable Purchasing Requirements and responsibilities Commitment to implementation guidance by P&P Implementation guidance – Sustainable Purchasing Guide To guide internal decision making and provide purchasing recommendations and approved standards and certifications for sustainable products and services.
- In 2018, we held a Procurement and Payables Expo With the theme “Be a Sustainability Super Hero” We had tables and breakout sessions where our customers could visit with us 1:1, learn about our services and specific topics and we handed out awards on the “green” carpet. We awarded 4 internal agencies with Environmental, collaboration, innovation and p-card awards Winners purchased sustainable furniture, waterless car washing services, saved the most money paying with p-card and supported sustainable policy development We handed out magnets and reusable bags to all attendees and invited them to training (kickoff)
- All of our tools are publicly available on our website: www.kingcounty.gov/procurement/green Awarded Contract Log on our website (all) Column for “green” Column for comments – highlight why they are green Download terms and conditions Approximately 5500 contracts Airtable
- We’ve even created the online Sustainable Purchasing Guide to help users understand the new policy requirements. It’s not only a handy tool but it serves as the list of requirements, broken down by commodity, so you know what’s required and what’s best practice for the individual commodities and services you buy everyday. Ecolabels Contracts I will be walking through these guides at the Innovation Accelerator tomorrow at 10:00 So if you want to learn how we do these and embed information from databases with only having to update the data in one place come to the session
- Ecolabels are listed and embedded in the purchasing guide specific to the commodity EPA Recommended is indicated
- In-person training highlights the policy and all of the tools that we have available on-line (publically available to everybody) During the training we have several interactive activities including: Skills practice – asking questions such as what they currently do and what they should do based on these new skills. Group discussion/competition On-line scavenger hunt – individual and group Hunt on-line via tablet (provided) or laptop if they brought one First to answer gets a prize Sample questions: Which contracts are available that have janitorial paper supplies available? (Veritiv and WCP Solutions) Find an ecolabel that is recommended for furniture by the EPA (recycled content, BIFMA level, Cradle to Cradle, UL Environment, SCS, Good Environmental Choice) What should you avoid when you buy lubricants? What should you choose? What contracts are available for recycling electronics (Ecolights and Friendly Earth) Toner - remanufactured cartridges, bio-based cartridges, high-yield OEM (new) cartridges, recyclable
- Training: We highlight all of the action steps that a person should do in regards to sustainability: Include sustainable considerations in initial needs assessment – can you avoid the purchase or repurpose something instead of buying new (surplus or second-hand) Some purchases are governed by Requirements or recommendations to purchase certain products or use certain strategies Refer to P&P’s Sustainable Purchasing Guide Ecolabels to use; true cost considerations, content to look for and avoid, look for local to reduce shipping, consider packing materials, buying bulk, end of life/disposal for the materials.
- During training, we highlight successful purchasing strategies. This was one of the award winners from the EXPO last year Furniture Repurposed New – used eco-labels
