| In December 2007, City Council approved the Environmentally
Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Program to focus on incorporating
green products and services into city contracts. One of over
80 efforts in the city's Phoenix: Living Like It Matters! Sustainability
program, EPP is based on product evaluations and green product
initiatives championed by various city departments.
Early results show that the city's commitment to EPP is proving
successful both environmentally and financially. Demonstrated
cost savings and reduced impacts on the environment are clear.
For city of Phoenix successes, please see the list below:
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
PLEASE STAY TUNED as 55 commodity areas have been identified
for green purchasing and are being approached on a contract-by-contract
basis. |
