Federal Agencies Making 'Significant Steps' On Green Procurement, Policy Office Finds

摘要

Federal agencies did a better job of buying green products in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 than in previous years, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) said in a recent report. The report, required every two years by Congress, concluded that the Obama administration has taken "significant steps" to promote green procurement, such as issuing Executive Order 13,514 in October 2009, which established energy efficiency and waste reduction goals for the federal government (40 ER 2334, 10/9/09).
