Our mission

Protection of human rights, compliance with labor and social standards, climate and environmental protection: All these issues are not only gaining in importance on a global scale, but a significant contribution can also be made at the municipal level, especially in procurement. Many committed municipalities have therefore already developed their own sustainability concepts, and others are just following suit. As a web portal for sustainable public procurement, we want to help you do just that: We provide recommendations for action that you can use to successfully demand social and ecological standards. Together for fair and sustainable procurement!
