Supporting responsible purchasing

Free help in going green
The Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code is a support service for London-based organisations committed to reducing their environmental impact through responsible purchasing. The Green Procurement Code is supported by £3 million from the London Development Agency and delivered by London Remade.

The Green Procurement Code provides practical advice and online resources to help embed green purchasing into all aspects of an organisation.

Since 2007, members of the Green Procurement Code have spent £742 million on green products and diverted over 190,000 tonnes of waste from landfill. In 2009, the purchase of green products resulted in 56,220 tonnes of carbon dioxide savings, the equivalent of flying from London to Sydney over 14,000 times.

Continuous improvement
Organisations signed up to the Green Procurement Code commit to achieving progressive environmental targets. It’s about continuous improvement and members can be awarded bronze, silver or gold status as a mark of their success.
