Buying green! A handbook on green public procurement (2nd edition)

Green public procurement (GPP) is defined in the European Commission's communication 'Public procurement for a better environment' as 'a process whereby public authorities seek to procure goods, services and works with the same primary function that would otherwise be procured'.

This handbook is designed to help public authorities successfully plan and implement GPP. It explains the possibilities offered by European Union law in a practical way, and looks at simple and effective approaches to greening contracts.
