👏 CME NL Applauds New Government Procurement Strategies Aimed at Local Growth and Sustainability👏

The Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Newfoundland and Labrador Division (CME NL) applauds the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador on behalf of our members and our sector for introducing the "Newfoundland and Labrador First Procurement Strategy" and the "Sustainable Procurement Strategy."

These initiatives demonstrate a deep-seated commitment to bolstering our local economy by championing local suppliers and integrating sustainable practices into the heart of provincial procurement processes.

At CME NL, we recognize these strategies as crucial cornerstones for cultivating a competitive edge and promoting environmental stewardship within our manufacturing sector. We are enthusiastic about the prospects these strategies introduce, empowering businesses of all sizes to engage more robustly in government procurement and to champion sustainability across our province.

By giving precedence to local suppliers and weaving environmental, social, and economic considerations into procurement decisions, we do more than fuel our economy—we lay the groundwork for a resilient and sustainable future for our communities.

CME NL remains steadfast in our advocacy for our members and commitment to our longstanding 'Manufactured Right Here' program. Together, we're dedicated to breathing life into these strategies, reinforcing the fabric of our local industry and the well-being of Newfoundland and Labrador.
