ECO-Buy Limited is a not for profit Centre of Excellence in Environmental Purchasing, established to encourage the purchasing of environmentally preferable (green) products and services.
Green purchasing is based on the simple premise that every purchase impacts on the environment in some way, and is about choosing to buy products and services that are less damaging to our environment and human health than competing products and services that serve the same purpose.
Backed by nine years of award winning experience delivering practical programs,
ECO-Buy's objective is to increase the demand and use of green products and services.
To achieve this, ECO-Buy offers a one-stop-shop to support organisations to 'green' their purchasing, providing a wide range of services and resources, from policy and strategy development and implementation to practical tools, templates and advice.
These resources and services are used to deliver a proven step by step process to embed green purchasing practices, principles and processes into organisations, and are provided through the following channels :
Membership: delivering practical guidance and advice on green purchasing for a wide range of member organisations, from business to local and state government
Workshops and training: providing a range of green purchasing related training courses and packages
Consultancy and project management services: delivered to member and non-member organisations
ECO-Find: a comprehensive online directory of independently assessed green products and suppliers
Research: Undertaking and commissioning green purchasing related research
Knowledge Hub: Providing independent and credible advice and information on green purchasing related topics
Facilitation: Acting as a link between purchasers and suppliers of green products
