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.
