Every purchase has a social, economic, and environmental impact, whether intended or not. Through Sustainable Procurement, we are leveraging existing procurement activities to achieve positive social value objectives that align with City strategic goals and plans. 

We have adopted a four-pillar program which promotes a comprehensive approach to sustainable procurement that address supply chain opportunities across four pillars: environmental, ethical, social, and Indigenous. By collecting data from suppliers who identify as Social Enterprises, Diverse-Owned Businesses, and/or Indigenous Businesses, we can provide City employees with the information needed to find and purchase from these businesses when appropriate. For example, City employees may refer to this supplier registry when putting together an Invitation to Quote, making low value purchases, and when utilizing Indigenous and social enterprise set asides. 

This data may also be consolidated into a list and shared publicly on the City of Winnipeg website to help connect external purchasers with suppliers.
