How to use environmental certificates in public tenders

How to use environmental certificates in public tenders
When drafting specifications for a public tender for the procurement and contracting of services with environmental benefits, the people responsible for drafting these specifications in public administrations are not necessarily environmental experts. In many cases, this means that they are unaware of the broad range of information tools available on the market for identifying those products or services with positive environmental characteristics.

The Company and Ecosystemic Services

Ecosystemic goods and services are indirect or direct contributions that eco-systems make to human wellbeing and its activities. These contributions can be resources or processes and provide benefits that can be divided into three types: ecological, socio-cultural and economic. It is noteworthy that a specific resource can generate several specific services. For example, fishing provides us with food and also a cultural identity (fishermen), and leisure and entertainment.
