KOMMUNALE is a specialist trade fair that allows professionals in the sector to exchange ideas and information on all themes relevant to public procurement. This includes digitalisation, IT security, sustainability, the energy transition, the public sphere and mobility.

Visitors to the Blue Angel stand received information on the different ways that they can make their public procurement environmentally compatible. By using sustainable alternatives, public institutions can not only reduce their environmental impact but also support the market penetration of environmentally friendly products by acting as role models. In addition, purchasing more durable products can help to reduce costs.

The Blue Angel can also provide reliable guidance in this area as an ecolabel. In order to raise awareness for the role played by the ecolabel in this sector, Dr. Kristin Stechemesser from the German Environment Agency held a talk on sustainability and environmental protection in public procurement.
