A strategic framework of green procurement for the Malaysian construction industry / Mohd Sallehuddin Mat Noor

The global Sustainable Development Goal 2030 highlights seventeen (17) objectives to be optimized; one of them is enabled by Green Procurement (GP) through Sustainable Consumption and Production principle. In the Malaysian context, reformation of the construction industry which relates to GP and env...
