Study on the collection of statistical information on GPP: methodologies and results

A recent study aimed at developing and implementing a methodology for measuring Green public procurement in Europe will assist Member States and the Commission when monitoring compliance with targets set forth.

The results of the study have been delivered end of 2008. These include:

  1. A methodology for measuring quantitative levels of GPP (value and number of "green" contracts as compared to value and number of non "green" contracts)
  2. A methodology for measuring the CO2 and financial impact of GPP
  3. Results on the level of GPP in the seven best performing Member States based on an implementation of the developed methodologies in these Member States
