INITIATIVES
Dr. Stefanos Fotiou.
Senior Regional Coordinator: Resource Efficiency
Presentation contents
 Sustainable Consumption and Production
 SCP in the context of economic development
 The UNEP approach on SPP
 SPP, labelling, trade
 Highlights of UNEP work on SPP in the region
 Challenges and opportunities for SPP
SCP in the context of economic
development
The decoupling challenge
Defining SCP
 The creation and use of services and related
products, which respond to basic needs and bring
a better quality of life while minimising the use of
natural resources and toxic materials as well as
the emissions of waste and pollutants over the
life cycle of the service or product so as not to
jeopardise the needs of future generation
Defining SCP
 The creation and use of services and related
products, which respond to basic needs and bring
a better quality of life while minimising the use of
natural resources and toxic materials as well as
the emissions of waste and pollutants over the
life cycle of the service or product so as not to
jeopardise the needs of future generation
The life cycle approach
The SCP life cycle approach
The origins of global action on
SCP
 “The major cause of the continued deterioration
of the global environment are the unsustainable
patterns of consumption and production,
particularly in industrialised countries, which is a
matter of grave concern, aggravating poverty
and imbalances.”
Agenda 21 (Chap. 4.3), Earth Summit, Rio
1992

The UNEP approach on SPP
The consumption conflict
I’d like to end poverty,
stop violence and racism,
and get rid of pollution.
Everyone should be equal.
I want to dress in the nicest clothes,
drive a great car, talk on the latest
mobile phone, and use my brand new DVD
Government procurement
We want to promote
environmental conservation
and social justice. Give
priority to local products.
Be Green!
We have limited financial resources. We must be
efficient. We need to buy more for less.
Sustainable Public Procurement
 “Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby
organisations meet their needs for goods,
services, works and utilities in a way that
achieves value for money on a whole life basis in
terms of generating benefits not only to the
organisation, but also to society and the
economy, whilst minimising damage to the
environment”
International Task force on SPP
SPP: Three focuses
 Economic factors include the costs of products and
services over their entire life cycle, such as:
acquisition, maintenance, operations and end-of-life
management costs (including waste disposal) in line
with good financial management;
 Social factors include social justice and equity;
safety and security; human rights and employment
conditions;
 Environmental factors include emissions to air, land
and water, climate change, biodiversity, natural
resource use and water scarcity over the whole
product life cycle.
UNEP and SPP
To guide countries in the development and
application of national SPP policies and
action plans.

The UNEP Approach to SPP
Labelling
• Eco-labelling: interface between production
and consumption patterns
• Addressing the needs of developing
countries:
• Information: access to coherent, credible and
clear information about eco-labelling
programs, requirements and markets
• Capacity: comprehensive, coordinated and
needs-based support to develop sustainable
enterprises
• Policy framework: integration in supportive
policy framework
SPP and Ecolabelling
 Two complementary approaches to stimulate
more sustainable products:
 SPP: demand
 Ecolabels: supply
 Strong correlation between the active use of
ecolabel and implementation of GPP (EU Green
7).
 Example: EU purchase of organic food
or California State purchase of certified computers
SPP and Ecolabelling
• Stimulate the
demand and supply
of better products
• Help consumers
make better
choices
Combined
approaches
of
voluntary
labelling
and SPP
are
important
to:
Trade on Environmental goods
The greatest growth potential for environmental goods (EGs)
is to be found in developing countries.
China and Brazil in particular have focused on the production
and export of EGs as a priority, rapidly becoming market
leaders in many areas such as renewable energy.
Combined with increasing environmental awareness
internationally, these trends are creating new and dynamic
opportunities for trade in EGs
How they get connected
Trade
SPP
Labels
• Creating opportunities
for economic growth on
the basis of low carbon
goods and services
• Government leading by
example. Upscaling and
mainstreaming
sustainable goods and
services
• Ensuring the credibility
of producer’s claims on
the sustainable aspect
of the goods and
services
Highlights of UNEP work on SPP
in the region
UNEP work
 Regional level:
 Provide training to experts in charge of supporting
governments to develop and implement SPP policies
 Raise the awareness of policy makers regarding the
importance and need for a rapid move to SPP
 Explore and discuss modalities of implementation of
SPP in Asian countries
 New project on SPP and Ecolabeling (regional
and national level implementation)
UNEP work
 Country level
 Seminars on SPP
 Provide support for developing SPP policies
 Link the work of SPP with eco-labelling and with the
work on Education for Sustainable Consumption
 Enabling developing countries to seize eco-label
opportunities through capacity building and technical
assistance for industries and governments in
developing economies
Sustainable Public Procurement Initiative
(SPPI)
Bringing together representatives
from governments, local
authorities, business sector and
civil society interested in
collectively promoting the supply
and demand of sustainable
products through SPP

SWITCH-Asia Regional Policy
Support Component (RPSC)
The overall objective of the Policy Support
Component is to strengthen national and
regional policy frameworks to promote the shift
towards more sustainable consumption and
production patterns and resource efficiency,
thereby contributing to green growth and
reduction of poverty in Asian countries and
assisting countries in achieving the MDGs.
SWITCH-Asia RPSC is funded by the European Union and UNEP
Specific Objectives
Create an enabling environment to strengthen or
initiate policies helping to mainstream SCP and RE
in regional sub-regional and national development
programmes.
To assist stakeholders in the project countries
(government, private sector, civil society), in
designing and implementing specific policy-oriented
activities to shift towards Sustainable
Consumption and Production.

Some other important work
 Green Purchasing Network (with regional and
national charters)
 International Institute on Sustainable
Development (study on SPP and eco labels)
 Institute of Global Environmental Studies (work
on SPP and lifestyles)
 SCP4LCE project (managed by GIZ)
SCP4LCE project
 Sustainable Consumption and Production for Low
Carbon Economy – Low Emissions Public
Procurement and Eco-Labeling (SCP4LCE)
 June 2012 – June 2015
funded by BMU.
implemented by
SCP4LCE objectives
 To expand existing eco-labels in Thailand and in
selected countries in Southeast Asia to cover
climate protection criteria
 To strengthen Green Public Procurement in
Thailand
 To cooperate with other selected countries in
South East Asia regarding Green Public
Procurement and harmonization of eco-labels
Some observations from Asia Pacific
 Some good work in selected countries on the use
of 3R for SPP (mainly with paper, plastic)
 SPP becomes a government focus (example: the
“Presidential decree 54” in Indonesia that
includes SPP)
 There are so many (literally hundreds) of tools on
SPP and each country develops its own tools
Some observations from Asia Pacific
 There are also literally hundreds of available eco-
or green labels (national, regional, international)
available to the industry
Challenges and opportunities
Challenges
SPP is
mainly on a
infant state
in most
countries
The current
global
financial
uncertainty
Too many
tools and too
many labels
and so little
coordination
Global trade
agreements
might be an
obstacle
Opportunities
SPP is good
for
businesses
The
potential of
international
trade is
huge
The trend
towards
SPP
SPP can
helps to
increase
GDP
How to play a central role on SPP in Asia-
Pacific
• Set national measurable SPP
targets
Leading by
example
• Demonstrate the business
case for SPP
Leading by
innovation
• Facilitate regional networking
on SPP
Leading by
knowledge
• Steer regional policy dialogue
on SPP
Leading by
policy
Final notes
1. Very big need for
mutual recognition and
acceptance of eco-
labels in sub-regional at
least level
2. Governments’ Role –
buying ‘green’: leading
by example will
definitely accelerate in
promoting Green
Purchasing
3. A comprehensive
institutional framework
at the country level with
regional coordination is
definitely needed to
mainstream SPP

  • 1. SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF SCP: A REVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA AND INITIATIVES Dr. Stefanos Fotiou. Senior Regional Coordinator: Resource Efficiency
  • 2. Presentation contents  Sustainable Consumption and Production  SCP in the context of economic development  The UNEP approach on SPP  SPP, labelling, trade  Highlights of UNEP work on SPP in the region  Challenges and opportunities for SPP
  • 3. SCP in the context of economic development
  • 5. Defining SCP  The creation and use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimising the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generation
  • 6. Defining SCP  The creation and use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimising the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generation
  • 7. The life cycle approach
  • 8. The SCP life cycle approach
  • 9. The origins of global action on SCP  “The major cause of the continued deterioration of the global environment are the unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, particularly in industrialised countries, which is a matter of grave concern, aggravating poverty and imbalances.” Agenda 21 (Chap. 4.3), Earth Summit, Rio 1992
  • 11. What we need Strategies Practices Investments Natural Resources: Development assets Change of BAU Mobilising Financial Capital Behavioral Change of Consumption Styles
  • 13. The consumption conflict I’d like to end poverty, stop violence and racism, and get rid of pollution. Everyone should be equal. I want to dress in the nicest clothes, drive a great car, talk on the latest mobile phone, and use my brand new DVD
  • 14. Government procurement We want to promote environmental conservation and social justice. Give priority to local products. Be Green! We have limited financial resources. We must be efficient. We need to buy more for less.
  • 15. Sustainable Public Procurement  “Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimising damage to the environment” International Task force on SPP
  • 16. SPP: Three focuses  Economic factors include the costs of products and services over their entire life cycle, such as: acquisition, maintenance, operations and end-of-life management costs (including waste disposal) in line with good financial management;  Social factors include social justice and equity; safety and security; human rights and employment conditions;  Environmental factors include emissions to air, land and water, climate change, biodiversity, natural resource use and water scarcity over the whole product life cycle.
  • 17. UNEP and SPP To guide countries in the development and application of national SPP policies and action plans. Policy Framework Legitimizes actions Legitimizes actions Informs the market Informs the market Action Plan: Defines responsibilities Defines responsibilities Outlines stages of implementation Outlines stages of implementation
  • 19. Labelling • Eco-labelling: interface between production and consumption patterns • Addressing the needs of developing countries: • Information: access to coherent, credible and clear information about eco-labelling programs, requirements and markets • Capacity: comprehensive, coordinated and needs-based support to develop sustainable enterprises • Policy framework: integration in supportive policy framework
  • 20. SPP and Ecolabelling  Two complementary approaches to stimulate more sustainable products:  SPP: demand  Ecolabels: supply  Strong correlation between the active use of ecolabel and implementation of GPP (EU Green 7).  Example: EU purchase of organic food or California State purchase of certified computers
  • 21. SPP and Ecolabelling • Stimulate the demand and supply of better products • Help consumers make better choices Combined approaches of voluntary labelling and SPP are important to:
  • 22. Trade on Environmental goods The greatest growth potential for environmental goods (EGs) is to be found in developing countries. China and Brazil in particular have focused on the production and export of EGs as a priority, rapidly becoming market leaders in many areas such as renewable energy. Combined with increasing environmental awareness internationally, these trends are creating new and dynamic opportunities for trade in EGs
  • 23. How they get connected Trade SPP Labels • Creating opportunities for economic growth on the basis of low carbon goods and services • Government leading by example. Upscaling and mainstreaming sustainable goods and services • Ensuring the credibility of producer’s claims on the sustainable aspect of the goods and services
  • 24. Highlights of UNEP work on SPP in the region
  • 25. UNEP work  Regional level:  Provide training to experts in charge of supporting governments to develop and implement SPP policies  Raise the awareness of policy makers regarding the importance and need for a rapid move to SPP  Explore and discuss modalities of implementation of SPP in Asian countries  New project on SPP and Ecolabeling (regional and national level implementation)

  • 46. Some observations from Asia Pacific  Some good work in selected countries on the use of 3R for SPP (mainly with paper, plastic)  SPP becomes a government focus (example: the “Presidential decree 54” in Indonesia that includes SPP)  There are so many (literally hundreds) of tools on SPP and each country develops its own tools
  • 47. Some observations from Asia Pacific  There are also literally hundreds of available eco- or green labels (national, regional, international) available to the industry
  • 49. Challenges SPP is mainly on a infant state in most countries The current global financial uncertainty Too many tools and too many labels and so little coordination Global trade agreements might be an obstacle
  • 50. Opportunities SPP is good for businesses The potential of international trade is huge The trend towards SPP SPP can helps to increase GDP
  • 51. How to play a central role on SPP in Asia- Pacific • Set national measurable SPP targets Leading by example • Demonstrate the business case for SPP Leading by innovation • Facilitate regional networking on SPP Leading by knowledge • Steer regional policy dialogue on SPP Leading by policy
  • 52. Final notes 1. Very big need for mutual recognition and acceptance of eco- labels in sub-regional at least level 2. Governments’ Role – buying ‘green’: leading by example will definitely accelerate in promoting Green Purchasing 3. A comprehensive institutional framework at the country level with regional coordination is definitely needed to mainstream SPP
