LUPC and SUPC now run a joint Responsible Procurement Group to enable members from both consortia to attend events with expert external speakers, and member case studies with hands-on, practical experience advice to share.

The group will discuss key topics within their institutions, ways of implementing best practice across a range of commodity areas; as well as excellent opportunities to network. The meetings are currently online and are likely to remain so, but we would hope to eventually have some face to face events to enable greater networking between individuals.

Membership of this group is open to:

• Responsible Procurement practitioners or those with a special interest in sustainability
• Procurement professionals with responsibility for sustainability and responsible procurement

By participating in this group, members will:

• Learn about sector resources to support members in implementing responsible procurement practices
• Discuss trends and share operational best practice for relevant products and services
• Have access to email distribution lists for easy discussion with colleagues

You can read the Terms of Reference for the group here.
