This project aims to provide guidance and resources for City of Nelson staff to incorporate sustainability considerations, specifically the reduction of embodied carbon emissions, into its procurement policy and processes. It provides advice on how to get started, then guides users through the pre-purchasing, purchasing, and post-purchasing phases of procurement with checklists and appendices of resources. Finally, it provides advice on adopting a sustainable procurement policy.
