Ethical purchasing guidance for Schools

New guidance from the Centre for Global Education York and Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Emancipation (WISE) to support and encourage schools to adopt an ethical approach to purchasing and consumerism. Ethical purchasing is the practice of buying products and services produced in a way that minimises social and environmental damage, and avoiding products that have a negative impact. The guidance helps schools understand what makes companies and products ethical, and how to teach ethical purchasing. The guide also provides information on ethical purchasing resources and websites to support schools.
