Policy Information

The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is developing an Environmentally Sustainable Procurement (ESP) Policy for Australian Government procurement. If approved, the Policy is planned to take effect from mid-2024, with staged targets to support the supply market to respond to the changes.

Making environmentally sustainable choices in Australian Government purchases supports Australia’s domestic and international environmental commitments. This includes reaching a NetZero APS by 2030, NetZero by 2050, a Circular Economy by 2030, meeting the National Waste Policy targets, targets under the Buy Australian Plan and the Nature Positive Plan.

If your entity procures construction services, ICT, furniture, fixtures and equipment, or textiles including uniforms there may be changes required to your procurement processes under the Policy. This may include requiring suppliers to submit a Supplier Environmental Sustainability Plan (SESP), and/or report against environmental metrics for applicable tenders and contracts.

Thank you for participating in this survey. By completing this survey, you have the opportunity to shape the requirements of the Policy.
