Day 1 and 2: will examine how the roadmap for government green procurement (GGP) has been successfully implemented in advanced green purchasing countries. Japan has successfully implemented 100% Green Procurement in 22 local governments and is working to achieve 100% implementation for all other local government in Japan. Strate-gies, techniques and mechanism such as resource productivity, eco design and materials, eco-labels, biomass and green supply chain to achieve successful green purchasing in governments, private enterprises and the retail sectors will be shared.

Day 3: will discuss how to build Safe and Green Commercial complexes and high rise buildings. Case studies will be taken from Kuala Lumpur City. Techniques for keeping complexes safe and green through the mobilization of safety strategies and the efficient use of waste resources will ensure better bottom lines for all owners.

COUNTRIES ARE READY TO PROMOTE GREEN PURCHASING!Today, the world is ready and eager to endorse the concept of green productivity and purchasing. Europe, Americas, Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand are advanced in the adoption of Green Purchasing. Malaysia has recently embarked on a journey with a green agenda, endorsed by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, through the implementation of a Government Green Procurement (GGP) policy. Similarly, countries such as Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, India, Indonesia have been implementing green productivity in industry, agriculture and service sectors.

DRIVING SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PROCUREMENT PRACTICESBuying and selling ‘green’ is no longer a trend but an essential part of building and driving sustainable business practices. Now more than ever supply chain practitioners have to heed the clarion call to adopt more efficient spending and investment processes in order to achieve environmental, social, and economic objectives (UNEP 2012).

Green buyers have the opportunity to adopt a myriad of green and ethical purchasing options. This passive solution allows for new markets to be created with emphasis on innovations in green technology, green productivity practices, and eco-friendly business operation.

WHY BUY GREEN?Government Green Procurement (GGP) and Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) practices, promote government policies that encourage companies to shift towards more sustainable processes in order to qualify for government contracts. This results in green procurement policies serving as a powerful initiator to demand in the green market thus boosting green growth in a country.

Coupled with policy makers who are able to draw upon the expertise of local and international authorities on green procurement, the implementation of GGP and SPP will effectively achieve a sustainable economic development for the nation while reducing the environmental impact and increasing quality of life.

With a commitment to green procurement, the number of private manufacturers creating and supplying green products will rise. Buyers will view favorably the affordability of green products and practices, fostering the green growth that is needed for green growth and environmental sustainability. Green Productivity implementation must be set in motion by all businesses in order for them to reap the benefits of green procurement!

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?This International Conference will assist in translating government policies into implementation. There will be debates on issues and solutions relevant to both producers (as suppliers) and buyers alike in many of the European and Asian countries.
