What Is Green Procurement?

"Green procurement" refers to the promotion of green and low-carbon concepts in procurement activities, giving full consideration to environmental protection, resource conservation, safety and health, low-carbon recycling and promotion of recycling. Prioritizing procurement and use of energy-saving, water-saving, and material-saving benefits Environmental protection of raw materials, products and services. ^[1]

Green procurement

"Green procurement" refers to the government's priority to purchase

Green procurement overall green product management

(1) Green core product management. The core part of a product is the value and benefits to consumers. Green core product management refers to the value and benefits of enterprises to consumers and society. In addition to the value and benefits to consumers and society, we must also assume social responsibility. The company turned the original social responsibility externalization into an internal flower. While satisfying consumer demand, the company also encouraged consumers to green consumption, reducing the product's pressure on the environment during the production and consumption process.

Green procurement builds a green organization

To undertake environmental social responsibility and improve environmental conditions; formulate and implement environmental management policy objectives and plans, prevent restrictions and eliminate pollution sources as much as possible; companies establish environmental management systems, conduct internal environmental audit plans and environmental statements; implement external environmental audits and the results Provide local authoritative institutions and make them public; the top management assumes responsibility for environmental protection, sets up green positions to implement corporate green management, and creates a green corporate culture. Form green values and train employees.

(2) Green Form Product Management

1) Green quality management refers to improving product quality and greening through improvement measures. Including: improving energy efficiency, enabling products to meet saving requirements; improving resource efficiency, greatly reducing energy consumption per unit; increasing product life, delaying the use of products; paying attention to product safety, so that product ingredients are not harmful to humans Substance; try to make the product reusable and recyclable.

2) Green brand management. Establishing a green brand, incorporating green concepts in the design of product labels and names, making it easy for consumers to identify and generate green associations.

3) Green design management. Incorporating green concepts into product design, structure, and performance. It can enhance the good impression of its environmental quality. It can make the product increase the credibility and security of environmental protection. This will make it widely accepted by society.

4) Green packaging management. Reduce packaging materials; reuse packaging; use recycled or renewable materials; degradable packaging; implement green packaging design patterns and safety warnings.

(3). Green additional form product management. The implementation of green additional product management means that in addition to giving consumers additional benefits such as guidance, consulting, and maintenance, they also add additional benefits to greening content: greening during installation and transportation, and paying attention to environmental protection during installation and transportation. Purchasing green, allowing consumers to avoid packaging or repurchase products and packaging, to introduce customers to green product information, inspection methods and safe product disposal methods.

Green Procurement Green Value Chain Management

Green Procurement Seminar

(1). Green suppliers choose development and evaluation. In the context of green procurement, in addition to the supplier's measurement criteria in the traditional supply chain environment, the environmental performance of the supplier must be considered, and the environmental performance itself contains multiple criteria. Therefore, the selection and evaluation of green suppliers It can be said that it is a complex system project. The purchasing manager must comprehensively consider the production needs, economic benefits and environmental goals of the enterprise, and make difficult trade-offs between a large number of measurement indicators. It is also necessary to treat the supply of environmental management issues. Suppliers are incorporated into the company's environmental management system. Suppliers are often unable to develop effective environmental management methods because of their small size and limited technical capital and manpower. Therefore, they are a weak link in environmental management in the supply chain. If the performance fails to meet the standards and is subject to sanctions by the environmental protection department, the procurement department should provide the necessary technical or financial support to the supplier to ensure the continuous operation of the supply chain.

(2). Green production. Through the improvement of technology, the production mode of cleaner production and waste recycling is implemented. To achieve this production mode, the entire product life cycle, from raw material mining to product scrap, must be considered for the entire process of material recovery, utilization, and treatment. Issues such as the thorough purification of waste gas and waste water during smelting, and the consideration of material recycling, reuse, and disposal of products at the time of product selection must be considered in detail. In the green production mode, these problems can be solved one by one through the specific process and technical measures for each link in the entire process. For example, in the design and manufacture of parts, the codes of their material types and recycling methods are marked, which facilitates grouping and processing, implements scientific management, and makes effective use of resources. At the same time, formulate production standards and strengthen production environment management. Based on the ISO9000 standard and in accordance with the ISO14001 standard requirements, based on investigation and evaluation, establish a production and environmental management system that meets domestic and international environmental management requirements and meets the company's characteristics.

Green procurement, green logistics management

Green logistics management refers to the introduction of environmental standards in the logistics process, while suppressing the harm caused by logistics to the environment, while purifying the logistics environment, reducing the consumption of resources, and making the best use of logistics resources. Enterprises use the new concept of green logistics, formulate corresponding green standards for transportation, loading and unloading, and management processes, increase research and application of new green logistics technologies, such as research on transportation planning, and actively develop and test green packaging materials. Buyers can also establish cooperative relationships with suppliers to allow suppliers to undertake some or all of the recycling of packaging materials, reducing the generation of packaging waste. Purchasing managers can improve the loading rate of transportation vehicles by reasonably arranging inbound logistics of the enterprise and reduce the environmental impact brought by the transportation process. When selecting transportation vehicles, try to consider transportation vehicles with small environmental impact as far as possible, from economic and environmental protection. Two angles to choose the appropriate mode of transportation.

Green procurement, green personnel management

(1) Cultivate employees 'green awareness. In the process of greening, enterprises cultivate employees' green awareness, so that they consciously adopt advanced technologies in production and management to reduce resource waste and use, and reduce the consumption of hydropower paper.

(2) Pay attention to the personal safety of employees

Equip workers with special checkers in special working environments; organize regular medical examinations of employees to pay attention to their health status; take effective measures to reduce toxic and harmful dust gas liquid solid noise to employees' health. The establishment of a suggestion box and the establishment of a regular meeting system ensure that the communication channels between employees and management are unobstructed; fire safety facilities are in place and can perform their functions when necessary, and a life security system must be established for them.

Green procurement establishes early warning mechanism for green barriers

Enterprises should establish early warning mechanisms for green technology barriers at home and abroad, strengthen research on international environmental protection certification standards, and collect green technical specifications, standards, conformity assessment procedures, and animal and plant health and quarantine measures for foreign products in a timely manner through various channels to establish green barriers. The database of the information center, and timely feedback relevant information to the relevant departments of the cost enterprise, to achieve information sharing, so that enterprises take precautionary measures in a timely manner, and break green barriers at home and abroad. In short, each enterprise must formulate its own business strategy in accordance with its own situation in order to obtain a competitive advantage.
