The Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (Indotel) was recognized for the application of green purchases for a sustainable government during the XV Quality Week 2023, organized by the Ministry of Public Administration (Map).
The institution was awarded along with seven other public administration institutions for supporting this government initiative, which aims to contribute from the State to ecological preservation and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
The president of the Indotel Board of Directors, Nelson Arroyo, received this distinction from the General Director of Public Procurement and Contracting, Carlos Pimentel, and the Minister of the Environment, Miguel Ceara Hatton.
Pimentel pointed out that the environmental focus in the country is gaining ground and is committed to multiplying this practice from different sectors.
“From the General Directorate of Public Procurement and Contracting we have promoted a sustainability approach in government purchases,” he stated.
He explained that the central government has focused on the creation of green purchasing policies, with the aim of promoting the inclusion of environmental and social criteria in State acquisition processes.
The event was the third and final day of the XV Quality Week concluded with the delivery of special recognitions to 24 public institutions and six hospitals.
