CCP Sustainable Purchasing Project Workshop 5 Review & Re-Strategise Amelia Chapman- Sustainable Purchasing Project Manager Nelly Belperio- CCP NSW Urban State Manager

Workshop Aims Find out what other councils are doing Build understanding of Milestone 5 process Discuss next steps Network & share experiences The first aim of today is to hear from other councils what they have been doing in the area of sustainable purchasing. This is a great way to get inspired as well as identify common barriers to implementing effective sustainable purchaisng actions. The second aim is to introduce you to the Milestone 5 process. Some councils here have indicated that they will going for Milestone 5 recognition, but even if your council is not ready, you may find the process useful in the future when you come to review your action plan or progression in sustainable purchasing more generally The next aim is to discuss the next steps beyond the project. I will explore this more later on in the workshop. And finally, as with all ICLEI workshops, this is an ideal opportunity for you network, share ideas and experiences and continue to, build on existing relationships. Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences- both good and bad as this is a valuable way in which other councils can benefit from your lessons. So lets get started. You should have a copy of the agenda on the table. After the welcome and ICLEI update, it would be great if you could each give us an update on sustainable purchasing at your council. We have a special update from the City of Penrith which includes a short presentation on the printer consolidation action they undertook last year, and our hosts Hornsby Shire will be sharing how they are getting on with a carbon neutral project funded through an Accelerated Action Grant. Following the council updates, Phill Scott from Local Government Procurement will give a presentation on how to tender for sustainability. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the service Local Government Procurement provide. We will then take a 15 min break. After the break we will have a look at the Milestone 5 process, and discuss the outcome of the pre-workshop activity you each completed. We will then finish up with a look at the next steps beyond the project where we will discuss some resources and strategies to help you continue on your sustainable purchasing path. Are there any questions at this stage? Good, lets get into it!
