This report compares Green Public Procurement (GPP) programs from four leading Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea and Thailand) to understand what the frameworks and key success factors that result in high impact green and sustainable procurement are. It looks at their commonalities and differences with the goal of informing a more effective implementation of green procurement policies
and programs across Asia. It will be beneficial for other countries in the early stages of promoting and implementing green public procurement, and it will give practitioners insights into the tools and
approaches used to implement and promote it.
The report was produced in the framework of the Asia-Pacific GPPEL project (“Strengthening the capacities and improving the knowledge
on green public procurement and ecolabelling in the Asia Pacific region”) supported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China and the Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute.
