Welcome!
Realizing the important role departments play in helping us achieve our sustainability goals with their daily purchasing decisions, Contracting Services is proud to announce the second Campus Sustainability Day Vendor Fair at UC Davis. Exhibitors at this sustainable products trade show will be showcasing environmentally preferable products.What is Sustainability?
Sustainable practices support ecological, human, social and economic vitality for both our campus and the global community. Sustainable actions meet present needs while enhancing the environment and the ability of future generations to thrive.
The University of California is committed to sustainability, and Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) is an important step toward making sustainability a reality on our campus. EPP is a strategy that seeks to procure products and services with a reduced or minimal environmental impact as compared to other similar products/services that serve the same purpose. Products/services can include attributes such as recycled content; reduction of energy consumption, toxicity, air and water pollution impact; materials efficiency (such as packaging); and the disposal impact at the end of useful life.
