Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, it is also playing an increasingly important role in public procurement. But how far does this obligation go? And how are sustainability criteria being applied in practice today?

During this edition of Café Public, we will take a closer look at the role of ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) in government procurement policy.

Our guest speaker Alexander Lemmens from the Facilitair Bedrijf will explain a practical example. In addition, Ann Verlinden and Veerle Pissierssens from KPMG and KPMG Law will take you through the most important trends and recent developments in the regulatory framework.

What can you expect?

• An overview of recent legislative and policy initiative
• A look at what (sectoral) legislation prescribes
• Practical insights into how sustainability criteria are addressed in the selection, award, and implementation phases
• A concrete case study

After the presentation, you are welcome to continue exchanging ideas during the networking lunch.
