Innovator Interviews: Leadership in Sustainable Procurement: Lessons from Oslo and Copenhagen

In this Innovator Interview, the GPL sat down with local government changemakers in Norway and Denmark to discuss the ways that procurement can help tackle their communities’ long-term goals. Oslo and Copenhagen are focused on environmental sustainability, including lowering greenhouse gas emissions and reducing food waste, and the interviewees discussed best practices for stakeholder management, the importance of engaged political leadership, and the benefits of transparency and collaboration with the vendor community.
