The North American Green Purchasing Initiative (NAGPI) Steering Committee is made up of major groups and agencies working with green purchasing in North America. NAGPI is housed at the CEC and plays a coordinating role to:
- Compile and maintain a list of ongoing green purchasing activities to avoid unintended duplication of effort;
- Create a unified voice to engage manufacturers, purchasers, politicians, the media and the general public;
- Develop and maintain a database of supporting tools and procurement policies used across North America;
- Identify research needs (such as the need to better quantify environmental benefits of green purchasing);
- Seek funding to address those needs;
- Facilitate development of common marketing language beneficial to all; and
- Launch coordinated campaigns to improve the performance of specific commodity areas.
