In accordance with the "Act on Promotion of Purchase of Green Products," Pusan National University(PNU) prioritizes 

the purchase of local products and sustainable foods through the Mandatory Green Product (Food) Purchase System 

and the Regional Product Preferential Purchase System for public institutions.

1. Under this mandatory system, PNU requires the procurement of green products, such as products with environmental 

   labels or low-carbon certifications. 

   PNU also reports annually on its green product purchases to develop strategies for increasing purchase rates.

 - Environmentally labeled products have better environmental attributes throughout their lifecycle, including fewer hazardous

   substances, safety for humans, energy savings, and water conservation.

 - Low-carbon products are those with lower greenhouse gas emissions and certified environmental claims.

2. The University Life Cooperative managing on-campus cafeterias prioritizes environmental conservation by buying 

   local agricultural products. 

   This supports local farmers and ensures the availability of fresh, nutritious meals, fostering sustainable food systems.
