Sustainable Public Procurement Background Sustainable public procurement is a tool which allows governments to leverage public spending (between 15 to 25 % of GDP) in order to promote the country’s social, environmental and economic policies. SPP contributes to create markets for appropriate technologies and innovative solutions. The United Nations Environment Programme has been for a long time a supporter of Sustainable Public Procurement by:
UNEP’s commitment in this field has led to partnerships with various organizations such as the World Bank, the International Training Center of the International Labor Organization, the League of Arab States and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives. With these partners we have organized awareness raising events and training workshops in locations such as Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia, Costa Rica, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Italy. |
