EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a government agency that sets and enforces standards for pollution control in the United States. EPA regulation plays an important role in promoting long-term sustainability goals across various industries, including procurement. Procurement professionals must understand how these rules apply to their contracts and take steps to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment by providing leadership, setting standards, and conducting research. By using green products and incorporating environmentally conscious practices into their operations, companies can help protect the planet while meeting their short-term and long-term goals.
