These guidelines are primarily written for government agencies who wish to take a common stepwise approach to measure Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) actions and policies in their country. They are designed both for beginning countries, as well as for those who already have an SPP plan in operation and who would like to improve and report on it in the context of the SDG 12.
The National Action Plan on SCP (2021-2030) is intended to identify key priority activities and tasks to implement and promote sustainable consumption and production in Vietnam, enhancing sustainable lifestyles and improving the quality of people's lives towards a circular economy.
This report aims to examine the incentive mechanisms designed to promote the implementation of Green Public Procurement (GPP) in Korea and certain countries in the Asian region, including Japan, China and Malaysia, and also to propose measures to accelerate the adoption of GPP in Thailand, which the Thai government may wish to take into consideration.
The overall objective of this study is to present the Republic of Korea’s green public procurement (GPP) impact measurement methodology, to compare it to others used by other public authorities internationally, and to pilot a macro-economic analysis of the economic and environmental impacts of the Republic of Korea’s GPP policy in order to improve the approaches used by the government to estimate GPP impacts and benefits. Also, it provides guidance to governments reforming their GPP policies and measurement approaches.
This report introduces the role that sustainable procurement can play to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and the shift towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production.

The “Factsheets on Sustainable Public Procurement in national governments” is a supplement to the 2017 Global Review of Sustainable Public Procurement.

This report compares Green Public Procurement (GPP) programs from four leading Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea and Thailand) to understand what the frameworks and key success factors that result in high-impact green and sustainable procurement are. It looks at their commonalities and differences with the goal of informing a more effective implementation of green procurement policies and programs across Asia. It will be beneficial for other countries in the early stages of promoting and implementing green public procurement, and it will give practitioners insights into the tools and approaches used to implement and promote it.
This is a compendium featuring six successful examples of green public procurement implementation in four different Asia-Pacific countries - Thailand, Japan, China, and Korea.
To ensure Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) for key purchases, that guide recommends that environmental, social, and economic criteria should be applied, in this case, to select sustainable CFL products.
