| Sustainable Supplier Council |

November 2000 through June 2001
The Oregon Department of Administrative Services formed the first Oregon Sustainable Supplier Council in October 2000 to develop recommendations for sustainable state purchasing policies in five areas: automobiles, building materials, cleaners and coatings, office furnishings, and paper products.
A diverse cross section of suppliers, industry experts, and public purchasers with expertise in the five product areas served on the Sustainable Supplier Council through an appointment from Mike Greenfield, Director of the Department of Administrative Services. Michael Jordon, Clackamas County Commissioner served as the chairperson for the first Sustainable Supplier Council. The Council was asked to address polices, targets, benchmarks, barriers and opportunities related to sustainability in purchasing. The bulk of the Sustainable Supplier Council work was performed through work groups convened by the Council to develop polices, targets and benchmarks particular to the five product categories identified in Executive Order 00-07.
The first Sustainable Supplier Council completed its work with the submission of the Sustainable Supplier Council Report to Director Greenfield in June 2001.
