The Framework works alongside other policies, such as Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy, the Recycling Victoria policy and the Recycled First policy, to avoid the harmful effects of environmental destruction on people and the economy, and to ensure future Victorians will be able to enjoy their natural surroundings for generations to come.
Environmentally sustainable outputs

The Environmentally sustainable business practices objective encourages the adoption of sustainable business practices by suppliers to the Victorian government.
Implementation of Climate Change Policy objectives
Implementation of Climate Change Policy Objectives aims to both minimise greenhouse gas emissions and encourage government buyers to procure outputs that are resilient against the impacts of climate change.
