Sustainable Purchasing Policy
The RVC has just signed off on its Sustainable Purchasing Policy. This requires that sustainability and environmental aspects are considered in the procurement of all goods and services. For more detail please download the policy from the downloads section of this page.
Sustainable purchasing
Everything that the RVC purchases has an associated impact on the environment. From obtaining natural resources and using energy in their production, to burning fossil fuels in their delivery, the impacts are far reaching. To achieve sustainability and conserve resources, the RVC will seek to purchase from as local producers/suppliers as possible.
