To mark the highlight of the four years project Green ProcA on green public procurement (GPP), the Conference and GPP Award Ceremony was held at the Climate Alliance Brussels Office yesterday. After the vivid discussion among procurement stakeholders from Eastern Europe about the barriers and solutions of ecological public purchasing, twelve European projects were rewarded due to their outstanding local efforts on green public procurement. Thomas Pensel of the Energieagentur Rheinland-Pfalz honoured the winning organisations and stressed their forerunner role as best practice examples in their subject area: „As a means of innovative procurement all of the winners of the EU GPP Award showed that environmental purchasing plus considerable savings can be achieved at the same time“.
