Delta Institute's Affiliation with the Responsible Purchasing Network

The Delta Institute and the Center for the New American Dream’s Responsible Purchasing Network are working together to form a Great Lakes affiliate of the Responsible Purchasing Network. The Responsible Purchasing Network (RPN) is a national network of procurement-related professionals dedicated to socially responsible and environmentally sustainable purchasing.

Officially founded in 2005, RPN is a program staffed and managed by the Center for a New American Dream, and advised by a voluntary Steering Committee of leading procurement stakeholders from government, industry, educational institutions, standards setting organizations, and related organizations.

The Delta Institute has the local presence and the technical expertise to help companies, municipalities, and organizations throughout the Great Lakes region to use their purchasing power to buy sustainable produced goods and services. Through the Delta Institute’s affiliation with the RPN, we are combining local assistance with an informational product database maintained by the RPN.
