1. We had a figure of 0 against our fair trade category on our contract register in the 2023-24 FY.

2. Moray Council has a procurement strategy in place and a copy of this is available on our website. This information is therefore exempt under section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, information otherwise accessible.
