Environmentally sustainable public procurement policy review

The Government of South Australia is establishing an evidence base to inform its approach to environmentally sustainable public procurement and the development of an environmental, social and governance (ESG) procurement strategy. For this project, environmentally sustainable outcomes encompass circular economy, emissions reductions, climate adaptation and climate risk management.

Aurecon and Rawtec were commissioned by Green Industries SA, the Department for Environment and Water, and Procurement SA to review the state of environmentally sustainable procurement (ESP) around the world and within the state. This preliminary research report evaluates the current progress in integrating environmentally sustainable procurement into policy and practice, positioning it as a key component of broader sustainable public procurement (SPP) objectives.
