Purchasing

Policy on Sustainable Procurement

In response to Laudato Si's emphasis on ecological economics, Seattle University has developed an institution-wide ethical, equitable, & sustainable procurement policy. This serves as a resource to support and facilitate the purchasing of products and services that minimize the harmful effects on people and the planet from their production, transportation, consumption, and disposal. The policy provides guidance on specific commodity areas such as the campus fleet, cleaning products, office supplies, landscaping, and garments & linens.
