Clover joins Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council
March 6, 2020
Clover Imaging Group (Clover) has joined forces with leaders from government, industry, academia, standards organisations, and NGOs to develop a guidance programme for leadership in sustainable purchasing.
Clover announced that as a member of the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, Clover will play an instrumental role in solving the biggest obstacle to sustainable institutional purchasing: a lack of standardisation in how sustainable purchasing is defined, guided, measured and rewarded.
Public and private sector organisations use this programme to guide trillions of dollars in collective purchasing towards goods and services that simultaneously meet the needs of their organisation, society, and the planet.
“The Council supports a strategic approach to sustainable purchasing that is consistent across sectors,” said Executive Director Jason Pearson. “The potential for alignment, market influence, and supply chain innovation accelerate dramatically when we all speak the same language and use similar processes to evaluate and mitigate the impacts associated with institutional purchasing. The Council’s visionary members are working to unleash the full transformative potential of global institutional purchasing, which in the US alone annually represents an estimated $10 trillion (€8.83 trillion) in spending.”
Eric Martin, Clover Imaging’s President, noted: “We are excited to join the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council and be part of the dialogue on supply chain sustainability. At Clover, we take great pride in our commitment to develop environmentally friendly print solutions that are not only better for the planet, but that also offer businesses and consumers a way to reduce printing costs. In this way, we continually demonstrate that strong business practices and environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive.”
