The Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 06/21 "Taking account of Carbon Reduction Plans" is a guidance document issued by the UK government to promote sustainable procurement practices across public sector organisations. The PPN emphasises the importance of considering carbon reduction plans in procurement decisions to help achieve the UK's commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
PPN 06/21 sets out the government's expectations for public sector organisations to incorporate carbon reduction plans into their procurement processes. It aims to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy by leveraging the purchasing power of the public sector. By following the guidance outlined in the PPN, public sector organisations and businesses can work together to drive meaningful reductions in carbon emissions and contribute to the UK's climate goals.
