Green purchasing, also known as environmentally preferable purchasing, aims to identify products with lesser impact on human health and the environment compared to conventional products. In San Francisco, we lead by example. San Francisco's landmark Precautionary Purchasing Ordinance requires that City staff buy only green products. These products are listed as "Required" on this website.

Get information to help San Francisco city departments meet the Precautionary Purchasing Ordinance in a way that saves money and improves City employee health.
