Procurement
Alongside the functional characteristics of products, it is also possible to take account of their environmental compatibility in public procurement. Public institutions can thus make a contribution to reducing environmental pollution, support the market penetration of environmentally friendly products and fulfil their duty as role models.
The recommendations from the German Environment Agency for invitations to tender for all of the Blue Angel products can provide you with comprehensive support when you want to implement environmentally friendly procurement processes. You can also find further information in our publications and on the web portal operated by the German Environment Agency on the theme of environmentally friendly procurement www.beschaffung-info.de.
