Have you read "Buying green in U.S. local government: Internal commitment and responsiveness to external pressures" by Ana-Maria Dimand, LL.B., Ph.D. and Milena Neshkova in Volume 102, Issue 2 yet? Using survey data from 210 U.S. local governments, the study finds that while both external and internal factors are strong predictors of buying "green", internal commitment matters relatively more. Additionally, local governments were more likely to buy green when nudged by nonprofits and interest groups, but less so when offered financial incentives by the federal government.

Last month the GSA Acquisition Policy Federal Advisory Committee Meeting delivered our final recommendations for how #GSA should advance the administration’s priorities on?#climate?and #sustainability through?#FederalAcquisition. I am particularly pleased to have chaired the?#AcqusitionWorkforce?subcommittee alongside co-chair Anne Rung, procurement leader and tech dynamo. Our subcommittee interviewed nearly 60 experts representing 17 organizations (public and private), and accrued hundreds of pages of notes that informed our work. The #GAPFAC's recommendations detail important next steps as the agency continues to embed sustainability considerations into federal acquisition:? ·??????Amplify GSA’s sustainability change acceleration strategy ·??????Adopt #lifecycle management for innovative entrants ·??????Adopt a principles-based sustainability data framework The following link gives you access to last month's recording and slides:?https://bit.ly/44RWZYC. You can also access the GAP FAC’s previous recommendations at this link as well. Special thanks to Boris Arratia and @Stephanie Hardison, our Designated Federal Officers, and David Cochennic who kept us on track and laser focused on issues that matter. David Malone, MBA,CPSM?
