Sustainable Procurement Platform
The Sustainable Procurement Platform is managed by ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability. It provides up-to-date news, case studies, events and guidance on sustainable procurement from across the world.
Its focus is sustainable and circular procurement. Circular procurement involves considering the whole lifecycle of products throughout their supply chain and ensuring that the products and services acquired generate benefits not only for the buyer, but also for the environment, society and the economy.
The platform showcases replicable sustainable, circular and innovation procurement approaches and strategies. Its resource centre contains over 200 case studies setting out the methods used, the obstacles overcome and successes achieved in implementing sustainable public procurement.
