Oxford POGO Club (April 2024): Green what, how or who? Can we compare green public procurement pursued through requirements, procedures, qualifications and other means?

On 30 April, 2024, at 4pm (UK), the Oxford POGO Club will take an international comparative look at the integration of social and environmental goals into public procurement, including contract management. We will consider mechanisms of green public procurement in the United Kingdom, European Union member states, and South Africa. Emerging mechanisms include deciding what to buy, trying to change how procurements are run with new evaluation criteria, and/or focusing on who to buy from based on contractor qualifications, efforts to shape supply chains, and/or exclude bad actors. Our panel will compare different approaches in their respective jurisdictions and comment on the opportunities and challenges associated with different mechanisms of green public procurement.

All are welcome. Learn more and register here.
