Croatia commits to establishing an online platform that allows coordination including training and exchange of information among procurement stakeholders by the end of 2016. The commitment will enable the assessment of different sustainability and green criteria as well as facilitate the dialogue on procurement with the private sector and the market. This commitment is expected to increase the use of Green Public Procurement (GPP) and increase the visibility of GPP policy.
This commitment falls under focus area 4 of the Batumi Initiative to shift consumer behaviours towards sustainable consumption patterns.
Implementing partners include Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, Ministry of Economy, State Office for Central Public Procurement, and National Committee for GPP.
The commitment is relevant to SDG target 12.7.
