  1. Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) Module 6. Coordination of GPP and Ecolabelling Programs in different countries

  2. Acknowledgment: This presentation have been developed by Aure Adell based on the document: “Comparative Analysis of GPP in China, Japan, South Korea & Thailand” by Sonal Parasnis for UNEP. The author wants to thank Sonal for the additional input. Use: The material can be used free of charge, provided it is used within UNEP's SPP and Ecolabeling activities. It may also be reused in other contexts provided that: 1) it is reused in a suitable manner, that is not misleading, 2) it excludes the UNEP logo and 3) it acknowledges UNEP's ownership and Aure Adell’s authorship – you can use the following wording: Presentation prepared by XXX using as basis UNEP’s SPP Training Toolkit slides prepared by Aure Adell. Statement: Given the diversity of legal contexts where the material will be used, the people in charge of using the material and the receiving administrations must assess (either by themselves or with independent legal advice) the suitability and legality of the examples offered within their specific context and modify them accordingly.

  3. Legal framework Enforcement level Product categories Criteria setting Implementation and monitoring Challenges and opportunities Comparative Analysis of GPP and Ecolabeling in China, Japan, South Korea & Thailand

  4. GPP implementation in these 4 countries has followed its own course depending on their context • Yet there are some similarities. • Let’s see what their similarities and differences are…

  5. Policy Framework

  6. GPP Policies

  7. Ecolabeling Schemes

  8. GPP Policy Leading Agency

  9. GPP Policy Target Groups

  10. GPP Enforcement Level

  11. GPP Targets

  12. Question to participants: • Considering the progress/success in each of the countries, what factors make the GPP policies more effective: • Enforcement level? • Targets at policy level? • Public authorities and other stakeholders covered?

  13. Definition of GPP criteria

  14. Aspects considered in the GPP Criteria

  15. What are the GPP Criteria

  16. Link of GPP Criteria and Ecolabels

  17. Link of GPP Criteria and Ecolabels • In all 4 countries Ecolabeling schemes are used as technical basis for the GPP criteria because: • The schemes where already in place • They provide a strong foundation to what is green (through research and consultation of stakeholders) • Helps reduce the costs of GPP programmes (mainly in the development of GPP criteria) • It strengthens both instruments – one supporting the other and viceversa (one message to the market)

  18. Impact on the market • In China and South Korea, there is a remarkable increase in the number of categories and certified products after the approval of the GPP policies • In Thailand, there was also an increase but the number is still reduced.

  19. Product/Service groups covered Common to all: IT equipment (computers, printers…) Paper and stationary Household appliances Cleaning prod/serv Furniture Lighting Vehicles Others more divers: Construction materials, Textile products, Accommodation, Lubricant oils, Fire extinguishers, Fixtures, Paint, Printing services…

  20. Question to participants: • Do you also consider to cover this common products / services? IT equipment (computers, printers…) Paper and stationary Household appliances Cleaning prod/serv Furniture Lighting Vehicles

  21. GPP Implementation and support measures

  22. Centralisation of the procurement activity • This affects both implementation and monitoring possibilities

  23. Tools for procurement • In South Korea, the “Korea Online E-Procurement system” (KNOEPS) centralises, in one platform, many purchases  facilitates data collection for monitoring • Furthermore, it’s compatible with the Green Product Information Platform (GPIP) through which all agencies provide their decentralised GPP data

  24. Capacity Building of Procurement Staff

  25. Tools for procurers

  26. Incentives

  27. Complementary measures Promotion of green products: • Eco-Product Exhibitions • Eco-Product / Eco-Business Awards • Specific projects (Green Printing, Ecodesign…) Promotion of general green consumption: • National Green Purchasing Networks • Green Card / Green Stores / Eco Points • Financial incentives

  29. Monitoring and Evaluating GPP

  30. Monitoring GPP Implementation

  31. Aspects covered in the monitoring

  32. Data tracking and reporting of GPP

  33. Results • Different results depending on: • product groups covered • number of authorities included • data centralisation • available impacts information…

  34. To sum everything up… • All the 4 countries have initiated GPP program as per specific local context and situation • The enforcement level is different but is able to give positive results in the local situation • Strong link with ecolabel which makes the GPP program efficient • GPP criteria as well as guidelines to facilitate the implementation • Training and incentives for the procurement staff • Robust monitoring and reporting is being established
