In Hungary, the green public procurement strategy aims to shape public procurement processes in an environmentally friendly manner and promote sustainable development. Green public procurement involves selecting products, services and construction projects that minimize environmental impacts, contribute to energy efficiency and sustainable resource use.
The products in this category comply with the requirements.
Main goals and guidelines
Incorporating environmental considerations: Public procurement will give preference to products and services that have lower carbon emissions, are energy-efficient, or rely on renewable energy sources.
Supporting a circular economy: They promote solutions that reduce waste production and support recycling.
Sustainable transport: In the field of transport infrastructure, green public procurement helps to develop low-emission and environmentally friendly modes of transport, such as the procurement of electric vehicles.
Energy efficiency developments: In order to improve energy efficiency, the modernization of public buildings, institutions and other infrastructures is given a high priority.
Legal framework
Hungary adopted the National Green Public Procurement Strategy in 2021, which is in line with the European Union's green objectives and the 2030 climate protection targets. The directive aims to increase the share of green procurement and promote sustainability considerations in public procurement procedures.
Main areas
Construction and infrastructure: Use of sustainable building materials and introduction of energy-efficient solutions in new construction.
Public services: Dissemination of green public procurement in waste management, transport and water management.
Supporting innovation: Encouraging green technologies and innovative solutions in public sector procurement.
The strategy fundamentally seeks to reduce Hungary's environmental footprint in the long term and promote sustainable development.
