Environmental Preferable Purchasing Policy Seattle Children's 2016

Description

Seattle Children’s Hospital has implemented a policy that demonstrates commitment to the principles of Environmentally Preferred Procurement (EPP) in support of the hospital's mission to improve the health of patients and families, staff, and the community. Seattle Children’s will evaluate the environmental impacts (e.g., waste, toxicity) of products and services in an effort to select healthy and safe products and services that are also environmentally sound. Seattle Children’s staff involved with product selection will communicate to the marketplace that Children’s expects suppliers to continuously develop price competitive products that conform to our EPP principles.
