Harnessing Public Procurement for the Green Transition
Good Practices in OECD Countries
This report presents the results of the 2022 OECD Green Public Procurement (GPP) Survey, to which 38 countries (OECD Member and accession candidate countries) responded. The aim of the survey was to better understand how public procurement, a significant economic lever, is being used to generate environmental benefits. The report is organized around four areas: green public procurement policy and strategic framework, public-private interactions on green public procurement, the monitoring and the evaluation of green public procurement, and building capacity and support for green public procurement. Developments in GPP since the survey was completed in 2022 are included in the country-specific factsheets annexed to the report.
Slovenia
In addition to the Public Procurement Act (2015) the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a Decree on GPP in 2012, with the aim of reducing emissions and making the public sector a role model for society and the private sector. The GPP Decree was revised in 2018 (Uradni list RS, št. 51/17 z dne 19. 9. 2017) in order to promote markets for green products and support the country’s transition to a circular economy. The last update of the GPP Decree was in 2021 (Uradni list RS, št. 121/2021 from 23. 7. 2021) with the additional two green subjects. In particular, the GPP Decree provides for the obligation of contracting authorities to integrate environmental considerations for different procurement categories (e.g. products, services, and works).
