Trend: Green Procurement

With the recent “Omnibus” reform, green procurement is once again at the center of policy discussion. Despite delays in CSRD and CSDDD, the EU’s objective is clear: sustainability should be structurally anchored in the Union’s market. Public procurement is a key instrument for this — yet it is often neglected due to a lack of expertise and cost concerns. While many contracting authorities remain hesitant, ESG criteria are gaining significance in society and policy.
