Green Public Procurement Sample Clauses

Green Public Procurement. Green public procurement (GPP) means "a process whereby public authorities seek to procure goods, services and works with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle when compared to goods, services and works with the same primary function that would otherwise be procured.” (COM(2008)) GPP is a voluntary instrument, which means that individual member states and public authorities can determine the extent to which they implement it.

Public purchasers are allowed to make use of the environmental information contained in eco-labelling schemes.
