The public sector here at home purchases goods and services for no less than DKK 415 billion. DKK per year. With such a large procurement muscle, the state, regions and municipalities can play an important role when it comes to promoting more climate-friendly products and solutions – especially within construction and facilities.

Green Transition Denmark invites you to a webinar on green public procurement, where we both focus on the upcoming requirements from the EU, but also zoom in on how we in Denmark can use green public procurement to boost the green transition.

Among other things, the webinar will focus on important political levers, specific new requirements in EU legislation and will also include the perspectives of large Danish public purchasers. How do they work with green public procurement? How do they go about the requirements from the EU? What opportunities do they see to advance the agenda, and what challenges do they face?

Time: Thursday 14 December 2023

KL. 14:30-15:30

Link to the webinar will be sent before the meeting.
