The Duke Green Purchasing Program helps Duke purchasers make environmentally responsible choices. By conserving resources, preventing pollution, and opting for safe materials, we can make a positive impact on our environment and community.
Read Duke's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Guidelines.
Why Buy Green?
1- To prevent pollution. We can protect the quality of our surroundings for generations to come. Our air and water quality directly impact human health, so environmental stewardship protects our community.
2 - To conserve resources. By avoiding waste, we protect the regenerative capacity of our environment.
3 - To encourage responsible business. When think green, we encourage businesses to think green, too. Demand for environmentally sensitive products is a key factor in availability and pricing.
4 - To join with others. By choosing low impact products and services, we partner with a large community of environmentally conscious
5 - To reduce costs. By optimizing the supply chain, avoiding waste, and conserving resources, we can avoid often unnecessary costs.
