About this program
Green contracting can help organizations turn their sustainability goals into real actions and their day-to-day practice by ensuring that contracts and agreements prioritize environmental impact.

This program will answer the following questions:
– What is Green contracting?

– How can you develop and implement green contracting within your work or organization?
