In the municipality of Intergreeneu, you, as the newly appointed Sustainability Advisor(s), are on a mission to transform the procurement processes into environmentally friendly and socially responsible. Your challenge is to guide the municipality in sourcing green products and services, support of green and ethical suppliers and sustainable packaging, while creating environment that encourages green procurement in the municipality and beyond. Good luck!

Procurement Department

She, The Mayor

Chose one or play all 5 Green Initiatives to achieve the Department's mission. Each Initiative comes with 3 different challenges which you must address by using the Resource Cards. Once you play a Resource Card, an option to choose from 3 Actions will appear. Chose the right once, and avoid those that may bring you a Red Vote from the Mayor. Remember, not all great Actions will get you a Green Vote. Some will get you an Orange Vote, nevertheless, they too get you closer to your mission.
