The Achat Socialement Responsable (Socially Responsible Purchasing) scheme facilitates the inclusion of social and environmental clauses in public procurement contracts. This approach ensures that public purchasing decisions go beyond mere price considerations and also address social and environmental impacts. By incorporating such clauses, public entities can promote actions like hiring people from marginalized groups, supporting sustainable and eco-friendly products, and ensuring ethical labor practices. The goal is to integrate responsibility into public purchasing, making the procurement process a tool for fostering positive societal and environmental outcomes, such as reducing inequality, creating jobs, and promoting sustainable development.
