Abstract

Correlating private and social interests represents a continuous challenge for environmental policy. Traditional implementation tools proved to be not enough for accomplishing the objectives required by the protection of natural systems. Therefore, they were complemented by a number of actions that approach different aspects of the social and economic life. The paper addresses from these the issue of sustainable production and consumption stimulated by the embodying of environmental criteria in public procurement. The argument for this initiative is developed on the base of principle considerations, and also by using the international and European experience in the promotion of “green public procurement. The analysis reveals the fact that such initiatives are justified by the size and authority of the state, which is a consumer responsible for one third of the national consumption, but also a behavior example for a correct perception of social interest.
