Definitions
Sustainable Purchasing is a process for selecting products or services that have a lesser or
reduced negative effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing
products or services that serve the same purpose. This process is also known as
“Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”.
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of
performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally accepted
definition of Andrew Savitz for TBL is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by
measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its profitability
and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.”

components or field cut-outs (holes, notches, grooves, etc.).
2. Baffle construction shall consist of a steel plate (the “backer” of the baffle). The
range-facing layer is an acoustical or ballistic rubber tile, screwed into ½ inch-thick
plywood. The steel and tile/plywood layer are connected by means of Z purlins
situated between them, thereby creating an air gap inside which misdirected bullets
may be contained.
3. All ballistic panel cutting must be performed with plasma cutting equipment.
4. No ballistic panel shall be subjected to flame cutting (oxygen fuel cutting, such as
acetylene, propane or MAPP gas, etc.).
5. Steel panels must be sandblasted.
