Social and Green Procurement: The Way Forward by Roberto Caranta #5thAnnualPublicProcurementCouncil

This session, part of the 5th Annual Public Procurement Council organised by Lexxion, provides an in-depth exploration of the current state of social and green procurement across Europe. It examines how these practices are being implemented, the challenges and opportunities they present, and highlights key trends shaping their development. Additionally, the session looks ahead to upcoming legislative and regulatory initiatives, offering insight into how future policy changes may influence the evolution of sustainable and socially responsible procurement in the European context.
