Pennsylvania's green purchasing expertise extends beyond the Department of Procurement. Like successful green purchasing programs elsewhere, Pennsylvania's purchasers are supported by experts from other departments, including:

Governor's Green Government Council, which is co-chaired by Secretary Creedon and John Hanger, Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. The office is staffed by Jeff Olsen, who has been working on green purchasing issues within Pennsylvania for 10 years.

Commonwealth Agency Recycling Office, managed by John Rarig. The office has been promoting recycling, including the purchase of recycled-content products for 20 years.
