Integrating responsible business conduct in public procurement supply chains
Economic benefits to governments
Public procurement represents a major share of government spending. Even though adequate
regulatory and strategic frameworks exist, the uptake of responsible business conduct
considerations in public procurement is relatively low. Given the relevance of the
economic argument for governments, this paper provides insights for policy makers
and practitioners on the economic benefits of integrating responsible business conduct in
public procurement supply chains. It analyses both direct and indirect economic benefits,
and looks into the broader impact on businesses and individuals beyond national borders.
