Abstract

It is assumed that green public procurement has a strong economic effect. In the European Union, the Green Course of public procurement involves switching from voluntary to mandatory. This article discusses public procurement using the methodology of law and economics in order to combine approaches from different disciplines and find ways to effectively solve environmental problems through procurement regulation. The main conclusions are that the costs and potential impact of environmental procurement on the environment differ in different industries, and therefore an industry-specific approach should be applied when developing regulation of environmental public procurement. In order to encourage companies to invest and develop their activities in a more environmentally friendly direction, it is important that a large number of customers use agreed environmental criteria. In addition, it is necessary to monitor the impact of green regulation of public procurement on competition, as well as to study the potential of public procurement to achieve environmental goals.
