On the second day of the East Asia and the Pacific International Public Procurement Conference (EAPIPPC) in Manila, participants will dive deeper into the theme, “Procurement for the People: Bridging Innovation, Value for Money, and Accountability.” Among the highlights is Panel 4, “Sustainable Procurement: Beyond Green Policies to Real Impact,” which focuses on the rapidly evolving field of sustainability in procurement.

This session will showcase cutting-edge innovations and emerging trends, including circular economy practices and new environmental standards that are reshaping the future of sustainable public spending.

Sustainable procurement transcends policies by creating real and measurable change, aligning public spending with environmental and social goals. It aims to foster economic growth while promoting ecological responsibility, demonstrating the transformative potential of procurement to serve the people and the planet.

The event will be attended by procurement authorities from across the East Asia and Pacific region, along with invited line agencies. Everyone is encouraged to watch the event live on Facebook through the official GPPB-TSO account.
