Insights into social procurement and workforce

SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

The Green Star Buildings rating tool is bringing a new social dimension to the design and construction of buildings, driving the creation of places with people as the focus. The People category introduces social procurement and workforce targets for disadvantaged and underrepresented groups including Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander businesses, social enterprises and/ or disability enterprises.

This Insights into social procurement and workforce webinar will take you through the credit outcomes and achievements and discuss several project examples and strategies. We will unpack the two different pathways to achieve this credit, directly through workforce targets, or indirectly through social procurement.
