ECPAR

Our Mission

ECPAR is a network of sustainable procurement leaders. Its mission is to increase the competitiveness, efficiency and resilience of organizations through sustainable procurement. Our multi-stakeholder and multi-sector organization is unique in Canada. More than 20 of Quebec's major purchaser are members, with as many stakeholders who ensure the rigor and relevance of our actions.

 

Over the past 10 years, ECPAR has equipped more than 50 organizations and 200 procurement and sustainable development professionals, led communities of practice that have produced more than 30 operational tools, promoted the transfer and sharing of expertise and supported the implementation of sustainable procurement practices. Its multi-stakeholder nature brought organizations together for a common purpose and provided a unique lever to optimize resources and accelerate processes. So from the outset, we helped equipping institutional buyers with the operational tools on the three components of sustainable development: the environmental component, the social and the economic aspect.
