2016 Global Review of Sustainable Public Procurement: Stakeholder Survey

UNEP, ICLEI and KEITI, cordially invite you to participate in the 2016 Global Review of SPP Stakeholder Survey.

This Survey forms an important part of the 10YFP SPP Programme’s ongoing effort to identify and map the policies, activities, drivers and challenges for sustainable public procurement and sustainable procurement worldwide. This is the second Survey conducted on global trends in SPP published by UNEP. We are seeking opinions of those stakeholders involved in SPP and will analyse the data to examine trends in different countries and organisations, as well as from an overall global context. The Coordination Desk of the 10YFP SPP Programme, UNEP, ICLEI and KEITI thank you in advance for your participation.

You can participate in the survey here.
The survey is open until June 10, 2016.

Results will be shared in the forthcoming 2016 Global Review of Sustainable Public Procurement.

If you have any questions about the survey or the broader 2016 Global Review of SPP, please contact Dr. Anastasia O’Rourke at aorourke [at] indecon.com or Irina Uzun at Irina.Uzun.Affiliate [at] unep.org.
