ESG: Sustainability in public procurement
Every year, the public sector (Confederation, cantons and municipalities) procures goods, services and construction work worth more than CHF 41 billion. Through its demand, the public sector can play a pioneering role, particularly in the circular economy, and thus make an effective contribution to climate protection and the conservation of natural resources. If the state sets a good example in ecological procurement, it also strengthens the credibility of the state's environmental policy.
