This database was developed thanks to the support of two projects. The first, Buy WISEly, aimed to enable WISEs and mainstream businesses in participating countries to build and implement transactional partnerships, including trade relationships, to foster a sustainable buy social B2B market. The second project, Consommer malin, consommer responsable (financed by the Belgian Loterie Nationale), focuses on promoting partnerships between WISEs, traditional companies, and public institutions, while raising awareness of responsible consumption through WISEs in Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region.
You’ll find on this map best practices and examples of public authorities that used reserved contracts (art. 20) and social considerations (art.42 Technical specifications, art.67 Contract award criteria and art.70 Conditions for performance of contracts) of the EU Directive 2014/24/EU for WISEs.
The objective of this map is to showcase a selected number of good practices across Europe, highlight exemplary cities and inspire others to adopt a responsible consumption behaviour when planning public spendings.
