Mayor of London's Green Procurement Code website gets revamp

The Mayor of London's Green Procurement Code unveils a fresh new look with the launch of its revamped website - www.greenprocurementcode.co.uk. The site acts as an information hub for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact through responsible purchasing.

Visitors to the new site can access the latest news and events listings, sustainable products and suppliers, industry publications and best practice case studies. Signatories to the Green Procurement Code will benefit from a 'members-only' toolkit, which provides comprehensive information and advice on implementing green purchasing.

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "We want to make it easier for organisations to make eco-friendly purchasing decisions. By doing so, businesses can not only be kinder to the planet, but can also save money in tough economic times."

Green Procurement Code programme manager, Graham Randles, highlights the benefits of the new site. "In the current financial climate companies don't want to waste valuable time and resources searching for information. The new website is an easy to navigate, one-stop-shop for organisations looking to make smart green procurement decisions."

The Green Procurement Code is one of the measures in place in London designed to help achieve the Mayor of London's target of cutting the capital's carbon emissions by 60% by 2025.
