The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is committed to continuously improving the social, environmental, and economic impacts of its procurement activities.

Under the Sustainable Procurement Policy, departments and large public bodies are required to consider and incorporate sustainability measures in the procurement of commodities where practicable and where they comply with trade agreement obligations. In undertaking sustainable procurement activity, departments and relevant public bodies will still need to ensure and demonstrate, in accordance with the Public Procurement Framework, that they are obtaining best value and that the cost for commodities is fair and reasonable, and that the procurement approach is consistent with the province’s trade agreement obligations. All measures relating to transparency and accountability must still be adhered to in sustainable procurement.
