Overview

We are developing the reporting framework and templates for phase 2 of the Environmentally Sustainable Procurement Policy (ESP Policy) which aims to reduce the environmental impact of Australia Government procurements.

Implementation of the policy requires a template for the Supplier Environmental Sustainability Plan (SESP) and a reporting framework for each of the phase 2 categories:

  • Furniture, fittings and equipment (FFE)

  • Textiles

  • ICT Goods

The SESP template and reporting framework for Phase 1 (Construction services) is available on the DCCEEW Sustainable Procurement web pages.

We have consulted with industry and government procurers to develop discussion papers for each of the 3 categories. These discussion papers consider the underlying sustainability issues of each category and propose a draft:

  • Reporting Framework

  • Supplier Environmental Sustainability Plan (SESP) template.

Your feedback on these discussion papers will help us develop the SESP template and reporting framework for each phase 2 category.
