A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed:
In accordance with our Sustainable Practices Policy, UCLA is engaged in several efforts to integrate green procurement initiatives into strategic procurement programs, including development of restructured purchasing contracts that will include sustainability principles in various strategic sourcing areas such as paper, janitorial, and equipment products. At the campus level, green products already do make up a portion of the total procurement.
Beginning April 2011, UCLA has instituted a Bruin Green Cleaning Program comprised of three policies: the Green Cleaning Policy, the Sustainable Purchasing Policy, and the Sustainable Equipment Policy. The Green Cleaning Policy is a set of standard operating procedures for the green cleaning program. These procedures address how an effective cleaning and hard floor and carpet maintenance system will be managed and audited. The Sustainable Purchasing Policy incorporates environmentally friendly cleaning, floor and carpet care, and consumable supplies in the program. Last, but not the least, the Sustainable Equipment Policy ensures that powered janitorial equipment meet established criteria for the program and prescribes their proper use and maintenance.
