dc.description.abstractPublic post-secondary institutions are driving Sustainable Procurement (SP), given its impact on various stakeholders and partners through direct expenditures, collaboration, and research. In addition, the higher education sector stimulates economic activity in the broader supply chain and has a multiplier effect on the national economy (Filho et al., 2019). From the early objectives of reducing waste and packaging and evaluating suppliers based on their environmental footprint, SP has extended to social issues like modern slavery, child labour, and internal governance. In recent years, including the triple bottom line of profit, people, and planet metric has expanded the understanding and relevance of SP in the sector. In Canada, various higher-educational institutions have adopted more sustainable sourcing strategies that align with university-wide sustainable goals.
