The issues targeted by the IIATT-SPHS
The health sector as an agent and a
recipient of environmental problems:
– Contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and
toxic chemicals in the environment
– Recipient of emerging diseases due to toxic
chemicals in the environment and climate
change
The issues targeted by the IIATT-SPHS
Procurement of
pharmaceuticals
and medical devices
Toxicity to the
environment
Greenhouse gas
emissions

The opportunity for joint UN action
• Production, distribution, use and disposal of
pharmaceuticals and medical devices is an important
area of concern from an environmental point of view
• UN agencies (UNDP, WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNOPS)
procurement for the health sector represents a
sizable part of the market (3 billion USD in 2012)
• The UN has a critical mass of procurement in some
segments of the market that could help orienting the
market towards more sustainable directions
Interagency Approach: 3 levels
• WHO and UNFPA prequalification programmes
(medical devices, drugs, condoms)
• WHOPES products and manufacturing sites
Impact on
international
standards
• Mandatory environmental weighting in
evaluation
Procurement
procedures
• Including environmental standards, criteria and
characteristics
Product
specifications
Objectives of the IIATT-SPHS
• To develop solid and transparent scientific consensus on
criteria for sustainable procurement related to the health
sector that would be:
• Evidence based
• Technically sound
• Cost effective
• Applicable in countries/suppliers from different
parts of the world
• To develop harmonized tools for procurement, capacity-
building and the necessary procedures to enable the
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of green
procurement by the UN
Strategies of the IIATT-SPHS
• In order to accomplish the objectives, the IIATT-
SPHS has developed a detailed Route Map
initially facilitated by the Sustainable
Development Unit of the NHS
• The Route Map outlines the strategy,
achievements and activities of the different UN
Agencies with regard to sustainable procurement
in the health sector
• Should we bring in the road map?

Current stage of initiatives
• Mapping of existing approaches to:
• Environmental criteria in tender processes
• Carbon footprinting of pharmaceutical products
• Energy efficiency and access to energy and forecasting
needs
• Chemical safety and waste management
• Corporate social responsibility of suppliers and application
to their supply chain
• Interagency workshops with invited experts/stakeholders
• Identification of options for the development of a UN shared
approach to establishing technical quality standards that
include sustainability aspects in the field of pharmaceuticals
and medical devices and articulation of the business case for
the UN and for governments
Concrete initiatives undertaken so far
• Carbon footprint assessments:
• Pilot projects in Tajikistan and Montenegro
• Monthly reporting of carbon footprint of freight
• Modification of bidding processes:
• Application of the Kaiser Sustainability Scorecard and the
Substitute It Now List developed by ChemSec
• Development of organizational strategies for
green procurement
Timeline of future actions
Scoping phase (until the end of 2013)
• Mobilize a wide range of stakeholders to build consensus on a set of
critical priority areas and objectives for sustainable procurement
Consensus has been found on putting the main focus of the
scoping proposal on the greening aspect of sustainable
procurement
• Ensure that the findings of the consultation contribute to the
development of WHO guidelines
• Financial contribution of the different agencies:
• UNDP: 50,000 USD
• UNOPS: 10,000 USD
• UNFPA: 10,000 USD
• UNICEF: 10,000 USD
• Stockholm County Council: approx. 15,000 USD ( 100,000 SEK)
• Swedish Medical Agency: approx. 15,000 USD (100,000 SEK)
Total: 110,000 USD (approx.)
• Technical workshop in Bonn, August 2013
Timeline of future actions
Development of a Joint Programming Proposal
• UN initiative to integrate most green procurement activities
for the health sector
• After the scoping phase there is a 2 years timeframe for
guideline development
Main concerns
1. Green procurement of pharmaceuticals and
medical products will make the products more
expensive
• Experience in many domains has shown that
sustainability guidelines were providing an innovation
push and often resulted in more cost efficient
production. In addition sounder financial accounting
systems (such as life cycle costing approaches) all
underline this type of argument
• Opportunity for Win-Win
Main concerns
2. Green procurement of medicines will create
market imbalances against manufacturing
companies from developing countries
• Incorrect assumption that manufacturing companies
from developing countries are less inclined towards
innovation
• Innovative financing is evidenced by recent offers
from IFC and Gates Foundation (limited to companies
from emerging markets)
Main concerns
3. Sustainable product of medicines will reduce
the quality and efficacy of the therapy
depriving patients of the most effective
treatment
• The potential substitution of medicines by less toxic
pharmaceuticals will happen only if the clinical value
for the patient is the same
• Substitution options exist to improve sustainability of
the manufacturing process e.g. use of solvents in
processing, energy efficiency and water conservation
Main concerns
4. Scientific evidence justifying green
procurement of pharmaceuticals and
medical devices is insufficient
• Existing examples of frameworks for sustainable
procurement in health sector
• Montreal Protocol for the phase-out of HFCs and CFCs
• Minamata Convention for the phase-out of mercury-containing
medical devices by 2020
• Application of the Precautionary Principle
• Beyond clinical evidence of effectiveness of medicines, we
also need to take evidence of toxicity into account– since
there is a need to add long-term impacts of GHG, as well as
environmental contamination of active ingredient and
waste
Concluding remarks
The IIATT-SPHS targets the emerging environmental
problems of the health sector:
• Green house gas emissions
• Toxicity of pharmaceuticals and medical devices to the
environment and human health
The IIATT-SPHS envisions to:
• Influence the normative level through guideline
development
• Apply a market shaping approach by the formulation of
tender processes
• Develop a consensus for monitoring and auditing
compliance to sustainability criteria of suppliers and users
of health products and services
Thank you for your
attention

Interagency Approach to Sustainable Procurement in Health Sector

  • 1. UN Informal Interagency Task Team on Sustainable Procurement in the Health Sector (IIATT-SPHS) Volker Welter Senior Procurement Adviser Procurement Support Office UNDP Copenhagen
  • 2. UN Informal Interagency Task Team on Sustainable Procurement in the Health Sector
  • 3. Agenda • Introduction of entities involved in the IIATT- SPHS • The issues targeted by the IIATT-SPHS • The opportunity of joint UN action • The objectives of the IIATT-SPHS • The strategies of the IIATT-SPHS • The current stage of the initiatives • Timeline of future actions • Main concerns • Concluding remarks
  • 5. Additional participants Public Sector Stockholm County Council Capital Region of Denmark German Federal Environment Agency Swedish Medical Product Agency NHS and others Private Sector NIRAS Arup Deloitte and others NGOs National Substitution Group Fairtrade ChemSec and others
  • 6. The issues targeted by the IIATT-SPHS The health sector as an agent and a recipient of environmental problems: – Contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and toxic chemicals in the environment – Recipient of emerging diseases due to toxic chemicals in the environment and climate change
  • 7. The issues targeted by the IIATT-SPHS Procurement of pharmaceuticals and medical devices Toxicity to the environment Greenhouse gas emissions
  • 8. The issues targeted by the IIATT- SPHS Breakdown of the NHS Carbon Footprint 2010 The pie represents the proportional divide of the overall GHG emissions and the graphic is the proportional divide of GHG emissions due to procurement
  • 9. The opportunity for joint UN action • Production, distribution, use and disposal of pharmaceuticals and medical devices is an important area of concern from an environmental point of view • UN agencies (UNDP, WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNOPS) procurement for the health sector represents a sizable part of the market (3 billion USD in 2012) • The UN has a critical mass of procurement in some segments of the market that could help orienting the market towards more sustainable directions
  • 10. Interagency Approach: 3 levels • WHO and UNFPA prequalification programmes (medical devices, drugs, condoms) • WHOPES products and manufacturing sites Impact on international standards • Mandatory environmental weighting in evaluation Procurement procedures • Including environmental standards, criteria and characteristics Product specifications
  • 11. Objectives of the IIATT-SPHS • To develop solid and transparent scientific consensus on criteria for sustainable procurement related to the health sector that would be: • Evidence based • Technically sound • Cost effective • Applicable in countries/suppliers from different parts of the world • To develop harmonized tools for procurement, capacity- building and the necessary procedures to enable the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of green procurement by the UN
  • 12. Strategies of the IIATT-SPHS • In order to accomplish the objectives, the IIATT- SPHS has developed a detailed Route Map initially facilitated by the Sustainable Development Unit of the NHS • The Route Map outlines the strategy, achievements and activities of the different UN Agencies with regard to sustainable procurement in the health sector
  • 13. • Should we bring in the road map?
  • 18. Virtuous circle of green procurement in the health sector Release of toxic products Resource consumption (electricity, water) Greenhouse gas emissions HEALTH CARE SYSTEM Reduction of GHG emissions Reduction of toxic releases Reduced disease burden Improved resource efficiency Less pressure on health care system Improved health outcomes and environmental benefits
  • 19. Current stage of initiatives • Mapping of existing approaches to: • Environmental criteria in tender processes • Carbon footprinting of pharmaceutical products • Energy efficiency and access to energy and forecasting needs • Chemical safety and waste management • Corporate social responsibility of suppliers and application to their supply chain • Interagency workshops with invited experts/stakeholders • Identification of options for the development of a UN shared approach to establishing technical quality standards that include sustainability aspects in the field of pharmaceuticals and medical devices and articulation of the business case for the UN and for governments
  • 20. Concrete initiatives undertaken so far • Carbon footprint assessments: • Pilot projects in Tajikistan and Montenegro • Monthly reporting of carbon footprint of freight • Modification of bidding processes: • Application of the Kaiser Sustainability Scorecard and the Substitute It Now List developed by ChemSec • Development of organizational strategies for green procurement
  • 21. Timeline of future actions Scoping phase (until the end of 2013) • Mobilize a wide range of stakeholders to build consensus on a set of critical priority areas and objectives for sustainable procurement Consensus has been found on putting the main focus of the scoping proposal on the greening aspect of sustainable procurement • Ensure that the findings of the consultation contribute to the development of WHO guidelines • Financial contribution of the different agencies: • UNDP: 50,000 USD • UNOPS: 10,000 USD • UNFPA: 10,000 USD • UNICEF: 10,000 USD • Stockholm County Council: approx. 15,000 USD ( 100,000 SEK) • Swedish Medical Agency: approx. 15,000 USD (100,000 SEK) Total: 110,000 USD (approx.) • Technical workshop in Bonn, August 2013
  • 22. Timeline of future actions Development of a Joint Programming Proposal • UN initiative to integrate most green procurement activities for the health sector • After the scoping phase there is a 2 years timeframe for guideline development
  • 23. Main concerns 1. Green procurement of pharmaceuticals and medical products will make the products more expensive • Experience in many domains has shown that sustainability guidelines were providing an innovation push and often resulted in more cost efficient production. In addition sounder financial accounting systems (such as life cycle costing approaches) all underline this type of argument • Opportunity for Win-Win
  • 24. Main concerns 2. Green procurement of medicines will create market imbalances against manufacturing companies from developing countries • Incorrect assumption that manufacturing companies from developing countries are less inclined towards innovation • Innovative financing is evidenced by recent offers from IFC and Gates Foundation (limited to companies from emerging markets)
  • 25. Main concerns 3. Sustainable product of medicines will reduce the quality and efficacy of the therapy depriving patients of the most effective treatment • The potential substitution of medicines by less toxic pharmaceuticals will happen only if the clinical value for the patient is the same • Substitution options exist to improve sustainability of the manufacturing process e.g. use of solvents in processing, energy efficiency and water conservation
  • 26. Main concerns 4. Scientific evidence justifying green procurement of pharmaceuticals and medical devices is insufficient • Existing examples of frameworks for sustainable procurement in health sector • Montreal Protocol for the phase-out of HFCs and CFCs • Minamata Convention for the phase-out of mercury-containing medical devices by 2020 • Application of the Precautionary Principle • Beyond clinical evidence of effectiveness of medicines, we also need to take evidence of toxicity into account– since there is a need to add long-term impacts of GHG, as well as environmental contamination of active ingredient and waste
  • 27. Concluding remarks The IIATT-SPHS targets the emerging environmental problems of the health sector: • Green house gas emissions • Toxicity of pharmaceuticals and medical devices to the environment and human health The IIATT-SPHS envisions to: • Influence the normative level through guideline development • Apply a market shaping approach by the formulation of tender processes • Develop a consensus for monitoring and auditing compliance to sustainability criteria of suppliers and users of health products and services
  • 28. Thank you for your attention
