If you’re involved in any aspect of procurement, then you need to know about how you can be a part of working towards the goals of a sustainable Wales.
How do you find out more about sustainability? Ask questions, listen and learn and take part in events and workshops such as the shared learning event on ‘Working Towards the Goals of a Sustainable Wales’ aimed at procurement staff and educating attendees about all aspects of the Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015).
Save the date and details: 9th February 2016 at 9.30am - 2.30pm - Cardiff Business School.
The Well-being of Future Generations Act will become law in April 2016. For 44 public bodies, areas of delivery such as Procurement will need to show their contribution to the Goals and Ways of Working detailed in the Act, and summarised on Page 6 and 7 of the Essentials Guide
As implementation of the Act begins, we will also see businesses, third sector and other organisations that apply for contracts and grants to maintain and develop facilities, being asked to provide evidence of how they are embedding sustainable development.
The event will give you the opportunity to look at how to work towards the Well-being Goals and use the Sustainable Development Principle from the new Well-being of Future Generations Act. This is the third of a series of free events for Charter signatories and other bodies that will help translate the intent of the Well-being of Future Generations Act into areas of operation and service delivery.
Contributors will include:
Melin Homes
Fairtrade Wales
Cardiff Business School
The aims of the day are to:
- Identify the links between Procurement and the Well-being of Future Generations Act, and the opportunities it offers
- Help Procurement Staff realise their contribution to the Goals and what the Ways of Working mean for their profession
- Share practical examples of good practice across Wales
- Help organisations not under the duty of the Act to work more effectively with the public sector ensuring all organisations are aligned and working to the same Goals
This free event is for signatories of the SD Charter, but is also open to other organisations to attend. It would be particularly useful for Procurement Staff in the 44 public bodies.
