– Implement those plans
– Track, report, and share the results

7. Model Policy Template - Preamble
It is the policy of {organization} to be a leader in sustainability.
With this policy, we are establishing a sustainable purchasing program at {organization}. This
will strengthen our commitment to {reference relevant sustainability/corporate social
responsibility policies or goals for the organization, such as commitment to the UN
Sustainable Development Goals, other corporate social responsibility (CSR) and/or
environmental goals}.
Our sustainable purchasing program will address the environmental, social, and economic
impacts associated with the {organization’s} purchase of an estimated annual {insert $
dollar amount} in goods and services.
Sustainable purchasing means making sure that our suppliers – and the products and
