Global Lead City Network on Sustainable Procurement

The Global Lead City Network (GLCN) on Sustainable Procurement is a group of 15 cities committed to drive a transition to sustainable consumption and production by implementing sustainable and innovation procurement.

By taking strategic procurement decisions, we can reduce negative environmental impacts, achieve financial efficiency, encourage innovation, boost green jobs, and strengthen labour rights.

The GLCN enables leading cities in the field of sustainable public procurement (SPP) to showcase ambitious, quantified targets and achievements in four priority sectors, meet, share and develop capabilities to implement sustainable purchasing practices, help develop a supportive political framework for implementation, act as global and regional champions of SPP, foster the role of public procurement for global sustainable development.
