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](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562b41dd8b42a2e6e8b523b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/5562b41dd8b42a2e6e8b523b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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

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)

Best practise examples
Timber policy best in government
Supplier Audit Programme
Supply chain audit – Textiles – Southern Region won internal award
for their change to fairly traded organic in conversion cotton goods
for corporate clothing
Third sector venue suppliers – Southern has led national move to
not-for-profit sector venue hire in order to support local economies,
charities and save on venue spend

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)
