href=\"https:\/\/web.law.columbia.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/microsites\/climate-change\/files\/Publications\/Collaborations-Visiting-Scholars\/ganley_eu_product_procurement.pdf\">new white paper<\/a> on \u201cgreen product procurement\u201d in the European Union, building on a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.law.columbia.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/microsites\/climate-change\/files\/Publications\/Collaborations-Visiting-Scholars\/us_product_procurement_ganley.pdf\">recent CCCL paper<\/a> on sustainable procurement policies in the United States. \u00a0With approximately 19% of the EU\u2019s GDP going to government purchases,<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cgreen procurement\u201d policies could potentially have a sizable impact on carbon emissions, and moreover could bolster the larger consumer market for sustainable goods.\u00a0 The European Commission (EC) has been proactive in this area and has increasingly sought ways to promote \u201cgreen products\u201d through government purchasing power.\u00a0 Several years ago it established a goal of 50% \u201cgreen\u201d procurement by all Member States, though uptake of these policies has not been as robust as the Commission had hoped.\u00a0 While many EU Members have made strides towards sustainable purchasing in the EU, green procurement varies greatly among EU countries.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The white paper reviews current EC policy in this area, focusing particularly on the way in which the EC treats lifecycle analysis and non-product related \u201cprocess and production methods\u201d (PPMs), criteria that relate to the way in which the product was produced rather than to the physical properties of the final product.\u00a0 The paper also addresses some of the factors that may have stymied better uptake of green product procurement in the EU.\u00a0 For example, while the EC has a handful of mandatory sustainable procurement directives in particular sectors, otherwise its general procurement directives do not require minimum environmental attributes in public contracts; the policy merely <i>encourages<\/i> Member States to include various environmental specifications in their procurement programs.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn2\">[ii]<\/a>\u00a0 In addition, for those Member States that <i>do<\/i> wish to incorporate sustainability into procurement, the EC\u2019s current procurement directives leave open the question of to what extent agencies may make purchasing decisions based on full lifecycle analysis or other environment-friendly preferences for low-carbon production methods.\u00a0 Further, while product procurement is often tied to the EU Ecolabel, this does not assure full consideration of environmental factors in the award criteria for public contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these limitations, the CCCL white paper explains that the EC is in the process of adopting policy changes that will likely enhance the ability of EU Member States to take upstream environmental impacts into account.\u00a0 This, in turn, could enable the EU to influence the broader market for green products by encouraging a shift towards upstream, supply chain carbon accounting.\u00a0 First, the EC is in the pilot phase of its uniform \u2018product environmental footprint\u2019 methodology,<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn3\">[iii]<\/a> a type of lifecycle analysis which should make it easier for procuring agencies to compare bids between products for which vendors have voluntarily computed a product footprint.\u00a0 Second, the EC is overhauling its 2004 general procurement directives, a process that will determine the leeway that Member States will have to take upstream carbon emissions into account in procurement, as well as the degree to which the Commission may <i>mandate<\/i> them to do so.<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn4\">[iv]<\/a>\u00a0 As the new paper describes, these changes will likely operate to give Member States greater authority than under the existing directives to incorporate\u2014and perhaps require\u2014cradle-to-grave carbon analysis in their product procurement policies.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming choices the EC makes as to these procurement policies could have far reaching effects by contributing to wider adoption of LCA accounting, which could prompt greater supply chain control of greenhouse gas emissions in the consumer products sector.\u00a0 The CCCL white paper assesses these proposals and suggests ways to maximize their effectiveness to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The paper can be found on the CCCL web page at: <a
