Day 1 | Revamping procurement policies to support the drive to net zero

Panel discussion

Information

Procurement is a key power that councils have to deliver net zero. Through commissioning, councils bring together public, private and voluntary partners that shape the market to best meet the needs of communities.

This can help build capacity in the market for low carbon goods and services and develop local skills and supply chains, particularly in the construction industry. Are your procurement policies consistent with your net zero target?

What action and/or investment is required?
