Council of the International Green Purchasing Network (IGPN) voted to welcome Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to join IGPN as Advisory Broad Member.
The GIZ commit to provide effective, forward-thinking solutions to global challenges, guided by the principles of sustainability and aligned with the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, and national development strategies. Regionally in Southeast Asia, GIZ has been a longstanding partner in advancing Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP), with particular emphasis on Green Public Procurement (GPP) and eco-labelling. As a new member of IGPN advisory broad, GIZ expect to bring its expertise and provide advice which support in a collaborative way including planning, coordination, implementation and monitoring of the Network continuous improvement.
IGPN chair, welcomed the engagement of GIZ, “Both organizations have mission to achieve global solutions for sustainable consumption and production transition. The participation of GIZ could put practical and system-level knowledge to IGPN through its long-term strategies on sustainability both in green purchasing and eco-labelling. Becoming an IGPN member will synergize and reinforce the GIZ commitment to green purchasing”.
The IGPN now has a network working across different countries and areas to promote green purchasing around the world, through its members who take the initiative in implementing green purchasing, partners with the Global Lead City Network led by ICLEI on sustainable procurement, the Global Ecolabelling Network, and collaborates with the UNEP One Planet Network Sustainable Public Procurement Programme support the implementation towards sustainable consumption and production.
