The Climate Change and Environment Officer introduced the report which updated the committee on progress made since the implementation of the Sustainable Products Policy in November 2022.
An action plan of monitoring measures had been considered by the Performance Monitoring Panel in March 2023, which aimed to improve sustainability across all operations of the partnership by embedding the Sustainable Products Policy in the procurement framework and discontinuing the purchase of single use products where possible.
