Patterns for Purchasing – PCPR PCPR1

Social and Environmental Commitment Develop and employ purchasing policies that demonstrate the social and environmental commitments in the CollegeĘźs Mission Statement and in its Environmental Commitment Statement. Purchasers must take into account the environmental and economic impact of their buying choices.

Biosphere Impact Warren Wilson is interested in buying materials that promote the health and sustainability of our biosphere. In making evaluations related to this policy use criteria that address the full life cycle of products from extraction through final recycling, including embedded energy, transportation burden and total carbon footprint.

Conservation-Supporting Purchasing Give preference in purchasing to products that use the least or conserve the most energy, water, gas, and other nonrenewable or environmentally costly resources.

Responsible Acceptance Make gifts and donations subject to the same standards as purchased products. Formulate a protocol for dealing with proffered gifts that do not meet such standards that will avoid alienating and will seek to educate and recruit potential donors.
