Abstract
Forest natural resources in Indonesia are one of the contributors to the fulfilment of human life and development capital. However, the use of forest resources without regard to aspects of sustainability will cause damage and even extinction of the forest. Therefore, green products today have become stronger demands from various groups. The procurement of goods/services within the government has been implementing a Sustainable Public Procurement that fulfils 3 (three) aspects, namely, economic, social and environmental interests. This paper observes Timber Legality Verification System policies in supporting the provision of green products for the forestry sector and Sustainable Public Procurement that will support the achievement of sustainable development. Timber Legality Verification System policy guarantees the provision of wood products by wood processing industry that contributes to realizing good forest governance to combat illegal logging and illegal trade, as well as support improvement in environmental quality. One strategy in fulfilling green products and implementing a Sustainable Public Procurement is to use timber products that have been certified with timber legality. The policy for the use of certified wood products needs to be supported by the implementation rules and information on the list of green products and technical guidelines for the procurement.

Summary
To meet the needs of human life as their consumption in the form of goods originating from nature will have an impact on the environment. One of the main causes in supporting the rate of deforestation in tropical countries is the existence of illegal logging practices [6] which encourage illegal trade in forestry products because the source and transportation of raw materials are not following the regulations in the forestry sector [7]. The ministry commits to improve the management of forest natural resources in terms of forest conservation and environmental management and illegal logging through the establishment of a timber legality verification system, Timber Legality Verification System (SVLK) policy. Public procurement in developing countries can reach 30 percent of gross domicile products (GDP), which will increase enormous purchasing power [12] This increase in purchasing power will drive the market in a sustainable direction, producing positive benefits for the environment and society if using sustainable goods and services.
