The Green Accord is a proven accreditation that drives sustainability and addresses the expanding environmental responsibilities facing those who procure or supply services. The Green Accord demonstrates best practice and promotes the reduction of environmental impact through the whole supply chain by demanding practical actions and the instigation of alternative working practices by Suppliers.

The Green Accord was launched in 2007, and in March 2023 was relaunched following brand and assessment changes to bring the accreditation up to date.

All suppliers and contractors who work for Exeter City Council will be expected to hold an environmental accreditation (EMS) such as ISO 14001, Green Accord or other equivalent and approved accreditation.
