Just in 86% By The nUMBers pErcEntAgE of surVEyEd indiViduAls who sAid thAt “do thE right thing” wAs thE mAin driVEr for thEir cAmpus sustAinABility initiAtiVEs The National Association of Educational Procurement — and in particular their director of sustainable leadership, Brian Yeoman — has been leading a number of sustainability programs in recent years. Their survey on the current state of green procurement trends within higher education, released last April, shows that such programs are nearing a tipping point. As Yeoman says, “Green procurement is a critical year away from leaving the planning phase and becoming actionable.” The survey of 125 individuals from 101 institutions showed that, within the next year, 72 percent of campuses would have a green purchasing policy in place. These policies affected a number of product categories, including paper products (86 percent), office supplies (73 percent), energy (66 percent), and computers (53 percent). Meanwhile, recycling (83 percent) and cleaning (73 percent) were overwhelmingly the most included service categories. Finally, while the desire to “do the right thing” (86 percent), “reduce carbon” (74 percent), and “improve image” (70 percent) were motivating factors for these policies and practices, the researchers were pleasantly surprised to see that 58 percent of respondents said they were driven by the goal to “reduce costs.” As Eric Zoetmulder of the group SciQuest, which partnered with NAEP on the survey, explains, “We now have the ability through modern e-procurement solutions to make being green an effective business strategy. When sustainability benefits the bottom line, everybody wins.” The full survey can be purchased or downloaded for free by members on the NAEP Web site at naepnet.org. An executive summary of the survey is available at sciquest.com/web/green/. 12 Talking STick
