GPP Helpdesk Webinar on Computers, Monitors, Tablets and Smartphones

24 November 2021, 10:00 - 11:30

Green Public Procurement (GPP) is an important tool to achieve environmental policy goals relating to climate change, resource use and sustainable consumption and production – especially given the importance of public sector spending on goods and services in Europe.

This is the second of the two webinars of 2021, as part of the European Commission’s Helpdesk service on GPP. The webinar will focus on the revised voluntary EU GPP criteria for computers, monitors, tablets and smartphones, which have been designed to encompass the most important environmental impacts during the life cycle of these products (product lifetime extension, energy consumption, hazardous substances, end-of-life management) and which include also criteria that apply to separate procurements for refurbished/remanufactured devices and related services.

The GPP Helpdesk Webinars provide a forum to inform stakeholders working in the field of public sector procurement about important new developments in the resources available and legislative context for GPP, and provide an opportunity for questions and discussion. For more information, visit the European Commission’s GPP website.

• Welcome and Introduction from the EU GPP Helpdesk, Enrico Degiorgis, DG Environment, European Commission
