BUY SMART

Descrizione Generale

Buy Smart will promote, implement and further develop the instrument of green procurement (procurement of energy efficient products) in private and public institutions, using the established green procurement guidelines developed in the GreenLabelsPurchase project. The project will not provide new tools but will address the main barriers which are presently hampering a broad implementation of green procurement. The collaboration with professional platforms who already offer electronic procurement to a large number of customers, Buy Smart will for the first time realise ‘green e-procurement’, thus reaching the target group at the right time and place, offered through a provider they already trust. By involving professional trade associations, the target group of private purchasers will be better reached. With extensive training offers, capacity-building will be enhanced. Policy recommendations will finally be developed and channelled into the discussions to strengthen green procurement in the revision of the NEEAPs (national energy efficiency action plans) in 2011.
