Impact Reports

Maximizing value and optimizing spend

Our top priority is to meet campus needs via our supply chain sourcing strategies. These strategies leverage UC’s systemwide purchasing power to optimize spend, deliver positive social and environmental impact, and provide significant value for the University.
