Over two-thirds of public sector bodies have declared climate emergencies, with many commiting to ambitious net zero targets by 2030. However, despite this strong ambition, there remains a significant gap between climate pledges and the practical capacity to deliver meaningful carbon reduction.
Our new Public Sector Procurement Decarbonisation Toolbox provides a clear, actionable framework to help organisations close this gap. The flyer outlines the key questions public bodies must address to meet their net zero commitments, alongside practical steps to embed decarbonisation into procurement and commissioning processes.
Procurement is one of the most powerful levers for public sector climate action. For many organisations, the majority of emissions sit within Scope 3 supply chains – from purchased goods, works, and services. This places procurement teams at the heart of delivering sustainable outcomes, carbon reduction, and long-term climate resilience.
The toolbox draws on Eunomia’s extensive experience supporting public sector decarbonisation, showcasing real-world case studies, including:
- Developing a procurement decarbonisation plan for the London Borough of Merton
- Delivering a regional decarbonisation strategy for York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership
- Providing technical advisory support to public bodies through WRAP
These examples demonstrate how embedding sustainability into procurement can drive measurable emissions reductions and system-wide change.
