Strategic Procurement Services is in the process of developing a comprehensive Social Procurement Program (SPP) to ensure our procurement practices reflect the sustainable, equitable and ethical values of the university. The many parts of this program deserve thoughtful collaboration with other units of the university and efforts will be ongoing as we learn and understand the historic and evolving landscape. We've made great progress and will work towards defining and achieving our goals in this space.
Every purchase made by the Queen’s community will be regarded through a lens that incorporates social value. We will continue to communicate and train the many buyers on campus to be thinking about the impact their purchase will have on the environment and the world’s many diverse people.
