What does it take to get procurement officials to specify green products? That’s a question the federal government asked, and attempted to answer, in a study of its Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program, launched in 1993 and relaunched in 1998 through "Greening of Government" Executive Orders signed by President Clinton. EPA hired a professional market research firm to assess federal employees’ awareness of EPP and explore what "motivates the federal workforce to link the environment to purchasing-related decision making." The findings may provide insight not just into government procurement, but also into the challenges any large organization faces when trying to "green" its procurement practices.
