Low

Criteria

Criteria met if the council has a stand alone environmental or sustainable procurement policy, or a complete section on Sustainable or Responsible Procurement, Climate Change or Action or something similar within their procurement policy that makes explicit reference to the council's Climate Action Plan and clearly includes an area-wide net zero target date.

Clarifications

Wording such as net zero, without a specific target date, is not valid for a mark.
