The City of Bordeaux, world capital of the Social and Solidarity Economy, Bordeaux Métropole, and UGAP, the French leading central public purchasing office, invite you to join French and European experts to collectively reflect on responsible European public procurement and their commitment to promoting regional economic development.

In particular, Roundtable 5 will be dedicated to "Different perspectives: digital responsibility in France and Europe". Digital uses have a major carbon footprint (10% of energy consumption and 4% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe). How can public procurement help increase sufficiency and reduce the impacts of energy consumption? In France and Europe, local authorities are taking action and speaking up.
