• Set out in its Annual Procurement Strategy on how it will use procurement to contribute to the global climate emergency.
• Report progress in its Annual Procurement Report.
• Report on how its procurement policies and procurement activity has contributed to compliance with climate change duties in its Public Bodies Climate Change Duty Report.
