D.1.1. Purchasing Policy

D.1.1.      Purchasing policy favors environmentally friendly products for building materials, capital goods, food, and consumables.

_________________________________

The economic leverage of purchasing by a tourism business can produce positive impacts by encouraging sustainably produced goods and services.  Responsible purchasing is a powerful means to reduce negative environmental impact.  This can be done by favoring certified environmentally friendly products and/or regularly evaluating providers that seek to conserve energy, utilize recycled materials, responsibly manage waste, and remain carbon neutral.
