Presented at the annual SPLC Summit in Denver, Colorado, The Awards recognize organizations for their leadership in the sustainable purchasing movement, a growing trend in which organizations are using their purchasing power to advance the long term health and vitality of society, economies, and the planet.
“The winners of these Awards have each demonstrated their commitment to leadership in sustainable purchasing,” says SPLC Executive Director Jason Pearson. “They represent a constructive cycle of innovation that will define the global marketplace of tomorrow.”
