Procurement Pressures

As a non departmental government body – and part of Defra, we have a constant pressure to ensure we’re spending public money in the best way possible.

On the next slide, we see some of the potential risks involved, both in terms of sustainability, H&S and PR….

How we do it

Page 10: Sustainable business network presentation- Environment Agency

Considerations before we buy

Opportunity not to buy?

Can you re-think the need?

Any technological innovations?

Are you buying as little as possible?

Are there opportunities to re-use / buy recycled?

Page 11: Sustainable business network presentation- Environment Agency

Consider Environmental Impacts

Non-renewable resource use (oil, water, copper)

Energy (think efficiency and environment)

Hazardous materials (REACH)

Emissions to air, land and water (CO2, pollution)

Packaging and waste (recycled, reuse, minimise)

Spares, consumables and maintenance (longevity)

Travel (reduced staff travel, logistics)

Support to EA vision, strategy and EMS

Page 12: Sustainable business network presentation- Environment Agency

Socio-economic impacts

Community benefits (regeneration zone)

Core labour standards (ILO) (list core standards)

Fair and ethical trade (all heard of fair trade)

Disability, gender and race equality (policy, care)

Employment conditions and training issues (pay, H&S)

SMEs, BMEs and the “third sector”, e.g. social enterprises,

charities (remploy)

EA Commitments (Race for Opportunity & Stonewall)

External commitments

Page 18: Sustainable business network presentation- Environment Agency

The Environment Agency has been working on its sustainable procurement impacts for many years, but this was brought together in 2006, by the central government Sustainable Task Force.

We played a major part in the task force to assess our level of skill in sustainable procurement.

The business case in a nutshell

“this is worth doing, there are clear benefits, it can be done, it is not difficult, it will not cost more in the medium term and will show real dividends in the long term”(Sir Neville Simms, “Procuring the Future”, 2006)
