Green Procurement: Realities and Prospects

Abstract

Green Procurement stands as the process by which customers take environmental factors into account when buying products, services or works, in order to reduce the impact on health and the environment. Green Procurement can be defined as a choice-making process whereby buyers aim to procure goods, services and works with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life-cycle, compared to goods, services and works with the same primary function that would otherwise be procured.
