The Metropolis of Greater Paris, the National Circular Economy Institute (INEC), the Observatory for responsible purchasing (ObsAR) and Les Canaux are launching their support programme, the Circular and Social Purchases Programme, at a webinar on 3 February 2021 from 10.30 a.m. to 12 noon.

This programme aims to help public and private entities integrate circular economy and social and solidarity economy clauses and criteria into their purchasing strategies.

Objectives of the programme:

• to create and share knowledge and gain feedback on purchasing, the circular economy and the social and solidarity economy;
• to have a real impact on the local economy, contribute to the development of circular goods and services available on the market and help create and retain jobs;
• to raise awareness and convince people of the economic, social and environmental benefits of integrating the circular economy into purchasing.
