2017 Global Review of Sustainable Public Procurement

An introduction to the publication examining the state of SPP policies and practices worldwide.

Farid Yaker, Aure Adell, Anastasia O’Rourke / 20 April 2017/ Webinar

The 10YFP was adopted at the Rio+20 Conference. It is a global framework of acAon to enhance internaAonal cooperaAon to accelerate the shiB towards SCP paDerns in both developed and developing countries. It supports capacity building and provides technical and financial assistance to developing countries for this shiB and encourages innovaAon and cooperaAon among all countries and stakeholders.

Introduction

Objec&ves 1. Build the case for SPP: –  improve knowledge on SPP and its effecAveness as a tool to promote greener economies and sustainable development;

2. Support the implementaAon of SPP on the ground: –  BeDer access to capacity building resources and improved coordinaAon between SPP stakeholders.

Working together to accelerate the shi5 to SPP

Why the SPP Global reviews? •  Providing a global overview of the progress made on SPP at international and national

level through the analysis of both policies and practices and the provision of insight into SPP practices from world regions that are either not typically covered by the literature.

•  SPP stakeholders have long requested reliable and up-to-date information on activities and organizations involved in SPP.

•  Developing an approach that can be replicated in future Global Reviews to track SPP progress and trends over time. Initiating discussions on the creation of a set of objectives and common indicators for SPP, and reporting on progress made by national governments using data provided and validated by governments themselves. This is particularly relevant considering the adoption of the SDG Target 12.7 and the need to measure progress towards it.

•  Expanding our understanding of the drivers, barriers, needs and expectations for SPP by including stakeholder opinions gathered through surveys and expert interviews.

•  Illustrating the range of SPP and SP activities by highlighting short good practice examples from a variety of organizations from around the world.

•  Raising awareness among stakeholders about existing initiatives and resources, such as the working groups that operate as part of the 10YFP Sustainable Public Procurement Programme.

•  Engaging and expanding the community of people and organizations working on SPP and related topics such as sustainable supply chain, sustainable sourcing, and sustainable production and consumption.

SPP policies



•  The nature of SPP policies varies largely, from single-aspect regulation to comprehensive SPP action plans.

•  Several governments have more than one SPP policy, covering different sustainability issues.

Global Review of SPP, 2016 . 17

Most national governments have SPP commitments that cover both environmental and socio-economic issues.

What type of sustainability issues are addressed by SPP policies?

Focus on BOTH environmental and

socio-‐economic issues.

Focus ONLY on environmental

issues

The focus is s&ll prominently on environmental issues, but socio-‐economic ones are increasingly taken into account.

Outcomes (Impacts)


What aspects are monitored?

23

•  Process-related indicators are most common, as data is more easily available.

•  Output-related indicators are increasingly being monitored. This might increase, as e-procurement systems become the norm.

•  Estimating or calculating the sustainability benefits of SPP is still a significant challenge and is rarely done.

Type of indicators used by naAonal governments to esAmate SPP outcomes:

What aspects are monitored?


TRENDS IN SPP Dr. Anastasia O’Rourke Industrial Economics, Inc.

Strongest drivers of SPP in survey participants’ organizations

Policy commitments/goals/action plans

Strong political and organizational leadership on SP

Mandatory SP rules/legislation

Training of procurement staff in SP

Expertise in SP: legal, environmental, social, economic Availability of SP criteria and specifications

Personal commitment to sustainability by staff

Monitoring, evaluation and enforcement of SP policies


26

SPP and SP is becoming more strategic

Procure more sustainable products

Procure more sustainable services

Procure more sustainable buildings/facilities

Procure from companies with more sustainable operations

Reduce needs, purchase less, buy 2nd hand, find alternatives

Supplier engagement to take sustainable actions.

Buy local / from local suppliers Gather information from suppliers on sustainability performance

What is considered an SPP/SP acAvity in your organizaAon?


Emerging SP topics, strategies and activities

Ecolabels,

standards and certifications

Monitoring and reporting SP implementation

Climate change policy goals

Linkages between environmental and

socio-economic dimensions

Training and capacity-building

SPP as a strategic tool

Transparency in supply chains


28

Ecolabels, standards and certifications

Stakeholders mostly use ecolabels:

a.  as reference tools to formulate criteria for products/services;

b.  to verify claims that a product meets the criteria;

c.  as mandatory requirements.


29

Main barriers to SPP in survey participants’ organizations

Perception that sustainable products and/or services are more expensive

Lack of expertise on SP implementation

Lack of policy commitments/goals/action plans

Lack of strong political and organizational leadership on SP

Lack of mandatory SP rules/legislation Lack of sustainable products and/or services to purchase

Insufficient monitoring, evaluation and/or enforcement of SP policies

Competing procurement priorities

SPP stakeholders perceive that sustainable procurement has become more important in both their country and organization.

•  All public-authority participants stated that SP has become “more important” for their organisations since 2012.

•  Participants based in Central and South America saw a sharp rise in the perceived importance of SP since 2012.

Stakeholders also expect SP will become more widespread in the next five years, even if there are changing political climates.

Perceived change in importance of SP since 2012

CONCLUSION

33

The 2016 Global Review highlights how SPP is becoming a widespread practice SP activities are on the rise in all types of organizations – including local governments, non-profits and private sector companies, both large and small Successful SPP requires a solid policy foundation, top-level leadership support and excellence in implementation. Still considerable work to be done before sustainability considerations become regular criteria within bid specifications and contracts

Conclusions

34

Some national governments are shifting their SPP policies towards strategic procurement policies - where sustainability is one of several "pillars" or goals. SPP goes beyond "picking greener products" and encompasses activities at every step of the procurement cycle SDGs and target 12.7 provides and opportunity to formulate a more standard definition and articulation of SPP practices and measures that will help in measuring progress and encourage adoption. Transforming sustainable production and consumption patterns will require collaboration among all stakeholders along the supply chain.

Conclusions

35

In the next Global Review, (2019), we expect to see: •  More participants and more standardized approaches to

implementing SPP as the sector becomes more mature and organizations improve their monitoring, measurement and reporting practices

•  An increased emphasis on supplier engagement, •  Higher engagement of the public and private sectors •  More cross-sector exchanges of ideas and approaches

Conclusions
