How Green is your Public Procurement ?

"Green public procurement means that public purchasers take account of environmental factors when buying products, services or works".

GPP and business

The business sector plays a major role in helping to protect and enhance the environment. Furthermore, the greening of products and services is also a huge opportunity for European companies to target new markets and become more competitive on a global scale.

The public and private sector have the chance to work together on stimulating innovation through public procurement and thus gaining economic as well as ecological profit.
