Browse the videos below to learn more about how leaders across Europe are pioneering good practices in sustainable and socially responsible public procurement.

The video series is based on the campaign #WeBuySocialEU and a report on socially responsible public procurement (SRPP) published by the European Commission and written by ICLEI Europe and AEIDL. The report collects 71 good practice cases on how public buyers have implemented SRPP, in order to promote employment opportunities, decent work, social inclusion, accessibility, ethical trade, design for all and seeking to achieve wider compliance with social standards. These cases include exceptional work done by ICLEI Members Ghent (Belgium); Copenhagen (Denmark); Helsinki, Tampere and Vantaa (Finland); Lille and Strasbourg (France); Bonn and Bremen (Germany); Haarlem and Rotterdam (the Netherlands); Oslo (Norway); Wrocław and Warsaw (Poland); and Helsingborg (Sweden).

The video series complements the report by illustrating cases from the Czech Republic, Toledo (Spain), and Vendée (France). All are encouraged to take inspiration from, learn from, and share the videos:
