Environmental Procurement
The Goulburn Broken CMA is committed to minimising the environmental impact of the goods and services purchased to meet its requirements. The Goulburn Broken CMA aims to meet this commitment by:
- Purchasing goods and services that have reduced impacts on the environment, compared with competing goods and services that achieve the same function and value for money outcomes;
- Defining environmental procurement priorities based on assessment of environmental risks and their ability to influence environmental outcomes;
- Considering environmental impact when defining specifications for goods and services;
- Assessing the potential environmental impact of entering into a commercial engagement with a supplier, where appropriate.
Social Procurement
The Goulburn Broken CMA is committed to achieving the objectives of Victoria’s Social Procurement Framework that aims to ensure value-for-money considerations are not solely focused on price, but encompass opportunities to deliver social and sustainable outcomes that benefit the Victorian community.
