“Everyone has a role to play in the global effort to combat climate change,” said Gordon Bitko, 91proÊÓÆµ’s Executive Vice President of Policy for Public Sector. “The tech industry takes its responsibility to advance climate sustainability seriously, and we welcome the Biden Administration’s commitment to using government procurement as a means to achieve its sustainability goals, while also making the federal supply chain more resilient. While we’re still reviewing the details of the administration’s proposal, we’re encouraged that it builds on existing rigorous corporate sustainability practices and incorporates internationally developed standards for measuring and reporting on sustainability, which will help promote efficient adoption across industries. We look forward to continuing our engagement with the administration as it works toward implementation of this procurement rule and as it develops a comprehensive sustainability strategy, policy, and requirements to mitigate climate change.”
