significance located in the area • Whether there is potential for impacts on matters of

national environmental significance at the broadest scope of the proposed action

• Whether there are any proposed measures to avoid or minimise impacts.

Sustainable procurement

• Environmental • Social • Economic.

28

BSBSUS401 Implement and monitor environmentally sustainable work practices

Supply chains

• In order to make informed decisions about purchasing strategies it is important to understand the supply chain of the product.

• Some products have very long supply chains that are often global

• It is important to find out whether or not the same environmental protection and/or human rights that we enjoy in Australia are being adhered to throughout the supply chain.
