Read definitionThe Clean Vehicle Directive (Directive 2019/1161/EU) sets mandatory minimum procurement targets for low-emission and zero-emission vehicles when public authorities and certain utilities purchase, lease, or procure operation of road vehicles, covering passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses across EU member states.

Read definitionConflict minerals due diligence is the process by which organisations verify that tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) in their supply chains do not originate from mines that finance armed conflict or involve serious human rights abuses, particularly in high-risk regions such as the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Read definitionCore GPP Criteria are the baseline tier of the European Commission's voluntary environmental benchmarks, specifying the minimum environmental performance that the majority of market suppliers can meet, with a low verification burden, making them suitable for wide adoption across European contracting authorities.
Read definitionThe Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large EU companies and listed SMEs to disclose standardised environmental, social, and governance information under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, generating verified sustainability data that contracting authorities can use in procurement pre-qualification, selection, and performance monitoring.
Read definitionA deforestation-free supply chain is one in which timber, paper, soy, beef, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, and rubber and their derived products can be traced to land that has not been subject to deforestation or forest degradation, as required under EU Regulation 2023/1115 and increasingly embedded in European public procurement specifications.
Read definitionAn Environmental Product Declaration is a standardised, third-party verified document that quantifies the environmental impacts of a product across its life cycle using Life-Cycle Assessment methodology, enabling transparent, comparable environmental performance data to be provided in public procurement bids and building permit applications.
Read definitionThe EU Ecolabel is the European Union's official voluntary environmental label, awarded to products and services that meet independently verified criteria covering reduced environmental impact across their life cycle, and widely referenced in EU GPP Criteria as accepted proof of environmental compliance in public procurement.
Read definitionThe EU Taxonomy in procurement refers to the application of the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy's classification of environmentally sustainable economic activities to public purchasing decisions, enabling contracting authorities to align procurement spend with defined technical screening criteria for climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and four other environmental objectives.
Read definitionFair Trade in public procurement refers to the use of fair trade certification criteria in public purchasing decisions, requiring that goods sourced from developing countries meet minimum price guarantees, labour rights standards, and producer organisation requirements, as verified by recognised certification bodies such as Fairtrade International.

Read definitionGreen Public Procurement is the practice by which public authorities integrate environmental criteria into purchasing decisions, requiring that goods, services, and works meet defined ecological standards across their life cycle, from production through use to end-of-life disposal.
Read definitionLife-Cycle Assessment in procurement is the systematic quantification of the environmental impacts of a product or service across its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and end-of-life, used to inform technical specifications, whole-life cost calculations, and award criteria in green and sustainable public purchasing.
Read definitionA net-zero procurement target is a policy commitment by a contracting authority or government to ensure that its purchasing decisions collectively achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by a defined date, typically by combining emissions reduction requirements on suppliers with offsetting provisions and whole-life carbon assessment across the procurement portfolio.
Read definitionSocially Responsible Public Procurement integrates social considerations into public purchasing decisions, including fair labour conditions, living wages, employment of disadvantaged groups, accessibility, human rights in supply chains, and community benefit, using the legal mechanisms provided by Directive 2014/24/EU to embed these objectives in contract design and evaluation.
Read definitionSustainable Public Procurement integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations into public purchasing decisions across the full supply chain life cycle, going beyond purely green criteria to encompass fair labour conditions, human rights, and community benefit alongside carbon and ecological objectives.
