Sustainability

The University of California is committed to sustainable purchasing practices. In our efforts to request and purchase the most energy efficient and least waste-producing products that meet our needs, we rely on the expertise of our office of Sustainability.

Sustainability requirements are included in all university-wide RFPs and will be different for different commodities. These requirements may include criteria for:

  • Energy Efficiency (such as ENERGY STARŪ designations)
  • Energy Conservation
  • Waste Reduction
  • Packaging Reduction
  • Trade-ins/Retrievals/Refurbishment of Used Products
  • Use of Recycled and Recyclable Material (Products, Packaging, Shipping Materials)
  • Responsible Shipping and Transportation Usage
  • Reduced Water Usage
  • Reduced Paper Usage (including e-procurement, e-payment)
