Firms which fail to do so may be deselected from the procurement.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This policy supports the Government’s plan to build back greener, by ensuring that potential government suppliers publish plans to reduce carbon emissions across their operations in order to bid for major government contracts.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In addition, ‘Fighting Climate Change’ is one of the priority themes of the government’s Social Value Model, launched earlier this year.
