A brief description of the guidelines for franchisees:
We place the following language in the contracts requiring vendors adhering to Penn sustainable policies:
"Sustainability
In support of the University of Pennsylvania's strong commitment to socially responsible purchasing, Penn Purchasing Services actively researches and solicits quotes on environmentally preferable goods and services. Such good and services include, but are not limited to, those which are made from recycled content, conserve natural resources, minimize pollution, reduce their use of water and energy, reduce environmental health hazards to workers and our community, support strong recycling markets, reduce materials that are land filled, and increase the use and availability of environmentally preferable product produced locally.
Its goal is to develop partnerships with suppliers who are able to support this commitment. Note: Suppliers must be able to substantiate all environmental claims on proposed product or service offerings to the satisfaction of the University."
