GPAM in business!


After signing the Green Purchasing Alliance Movement (GPAM) charter for GreenAP last November 2009 at the GP3 Conference at the SMX Convention Center (phew that's a lot of letters), I was wondering what happened to it. The Green Choice ecolabel continued to roll out (recently awarded to Mariwasa and Ricoh!) and is now being carried by 15 different products in the country, but what of GPAM?

PCEPSDI finally got us all together to conduct a steering committee workshop this week, and the ball is finally rolling. GPAM is the marketing arm of PCEPSDI & Green Choice Philippines, with the main mission of promoting and implementing green purchasing and networking. We all established our areas of responsibility and activities for the year, so expect to hear more about it in the coming months.

GreenAP is also an official endorser of the Green Choice ecolabel. More information will be given during the monthly GreenAP lectures, the next one to be held on March 24, 2010 at the Wilcon Builder's Depot along C5, in between Tiendesitas and Eastwood City.
