Educational Institution

Abstract. This paper reported the factors affecting the adoption of green procurement in Indonesian educational
institutions. A quantitative method is used to understand the effects between variables on green procurement
implementation. Data from respondents working on the procurement divisions from higher degree institutions in the
province of East Java, Indonesia, are collected in this study. The results indicated no significant effects on middle
management staff, awareness, and corporate responsibility on the implementation of green procurement in
educational institutions. At the same time, there is a significant impact of green supply approaches such as ISO
certification and eco-design product strategy on adopting green procurement.

required to implement sustainable environmental
