United for responsible procurement
The project “United for responsible procurement” is developing a practical tendering and evaluation tool that systematically integrates sustainability into public textile tenders.

The commitment

Sustainability criteria are compiled, reviewed, and further developed in collaboration with (semi-)public procurement agencies, companies, and associations. These criteria then form the basis for the tool and enable a uniform, transparent, and marketable evaluation of bids.

The aim is to provide guidance and equip procurement departments with a tool that makes sustainability simple, comparable, and effective, from the criteria to the decision.
