Responsible Procurement

Net Zero Carbon Supplier Tool

Ulster University uses the Net Zero Carbon Supplier Tool to assess and engage with suppliers on their carbon impact. This helps us make informed procurement decisions, support suppliers in reducing emissions, and advance our own net zero commitments. By integrating sustainability into our supply chain, we promote a low-carbon, responsible approach to purchasing and partnership.

Supplier Engagement Tool

Ulster University uses the Supplier Engagement Tool to work collaboratively with our suppliers on sustainability and ethical practices. The tool helps us track performance, identify areas for improvement, and foster partnerships that support environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals across our supply chain.

Electronics Watch

Ulster University is a member of the North West Purchasing Consortium, which is monitored by Electronics Watch. This ensures that our procurement of electronics meets high standards for human rights, labour conditions, and environmental responsibility. Through this partnership, we promote ethical supply chains and embed sustainability into our purchasing decisions.
