Should our Government throw its purchasing power behind companies that embrace sustainable practice? Yes, say the majority of respondents to recent Management Magazine/Shape NZ business poll. There was strong support (89 percent) for government procurement to be conducted on ‘whole-of-life’ basis and 56 percent agreed government agencies should only buy goods and services that meet verified green criteria. Most (90 percent) now agree sustainability is needed across the whole economy with 78 percent believing New Zealand would be more competitive internationally if it was to become the first “truly sustainable” country.
