What is the ecological public procurement plan?
Ok, let's take a more human and less "instruction manual." Here goes:
The ecological public procurement plan, or PCPE for friends, is basically the history of the public sector to stop buying crazy and start thinking a little on the planet. What does that mean? Well, at the time of catching goods, services or any work, those who, within the useful, leave the slightest possible mark. That is, less polluting roll, less waste, greener.
The great idea behind all this is to push the rock (both those who buy and those who sell) to be more responsible. That it is not only about protecting the environment, an eye, that there is also innovation in between, development of cool and sustainable products, and incidentally, save pasta! Because being ecological, sometimes, also saves your pocket. Win-Win, right?
For companies that want to put their heads in public tenders, this is law. You have to know all the rules of the ecological game. Not only because they ask you, but because it is the way of highlighting among the tide of competition. If you show that you take it seriously, you have a sustainable roll, because your reputation goes up points and your options to take the contract, the same.
All this is based on Tochas laws, Roll the Directive 2014/24/EU and other fat roles that allow to put ecological criteria in tenders. Of course, according to the country, the roll can change a bit, because each one adapts things in their own way. This is how the world works, what are we going to do?
Do you want to do it well? Well, play green criteria in all phases: since you decide what you need, until you evaluate offers and vigns that the contract is fulfilled. It can be to ask that the products have certain green seals, or that suppliers have environmental management systems. No posture, you have to fulfill it.
If you are a company and want to play in this league, you have to be in the parrot of which green requirements they take in your sector. And prove it, of course. You still need ecological certifications, show that you are energy efficient, or that you use materials that do not cry Greta Thunberg. If you do it, not only do you help the planet, you also have more ballots to catch public contracts. And that, let's be honest, cool a lot.
