parties and central government… clear roles and
actions for both participants and central government..
to achieve green growth.

initiatives
The initiative:
• contributes to sustainability goals
• is (or will be) profitable
• impact on green growth & in 3 years
• has potential for scaling up
• has a role for government
• actively carried out by the initiator(s)
29. Criteria for not becoming a
Green Deal
• Privileged position of one party
• Request concerns only funding or a grant
• No obstacles where the central government can help
• Solution is not technically feasible
• The public sector is the only party being asked to act
35. Circular procurement depends on policy
translated into practice through purchasers
and suppliers.
