Sustainable Development
Sustainable Procurement
• Sustainability refers to the physical development and
institutional operating practices that meet the needs
of present users without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs, particularly
with regard to use and waste of natural resources.
• Sustainable practices support ecological, human and
economic health and vitality.
• Sustainability presumes that resources are finite and
should be used conservatively and wisely with a view
to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in
which resources are used.
