Green public procurement is becoming a key tool for achieving sustainable development and environmental responsibility in the construction sector. We will focus on how environmental requirements help reduce negative environmental impacts and improve procurement efficiency, particularly in the process of rebuilding Ukraine now and after the war.

Focus on:

Technical specifications for construction products;

Construction briefs for design based on the ‘better than before’ principle;

Construction works.

During the webinar, we will address practical issues:

Which requirements to apply in accordance with the law and how to do so correctly.

Common mistakes when formulating requirements in technical specifications and design briefs.

What are the benefits of applying environmental requirements to construction products and construction?

Which regulatory documents govern the environmental performance requirements for construction products and construction projects (major repairs, refurbishment, new builds)?

How should environmental requirements be correctly formulated in tender documentation?

How can environmental claims, declarations and eco-labelling be applied to construction products without breaching competition law?

How can one commission an energy-efficient green building project using public funds?

The webinar will be useful for:

Purchasers of building materials and construction clients;

Suppliers of construction products;

Designers and other construction stakeholders;

Experts and consultants in the construction sector;

Anyone wishing to improve their knowledge of environmental requirements in the construction materials market.

The event is organised by the All-Ukrainian Public Organisation ‘Living Planet’ with the support and participation of the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, the State Enterprise ‘Prozorro’, and the State Scientific Institution ‘Institute of Ecological Restoration and Development of Ukraine’.

The webinar programme is based on real-life case studies and enquiries from clients and suppliers, so participants will receive a wealth of practical advice and examples drawn from actual procurement practices in the construction sector.
