How it works
It sets out in writing what environmental criteria are required when buying, who applies them and how they are checked, rather than deciding on a case-by-case basis.
It converts objectives into verifiable decisions through simulation, measurement, review, learning and clear responsibilities throughout the life cycle.
When does it make sense?
- Before irreversible decisions and after putting the system into use
- When there is a specific question the data can answer
- With defined data quality, privacy, responsibility and subsequent actions
How to apply it
- 1
To define what needs resolves "purchase policy with environmental criteria" and to establish a starting position.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3

Potential benefits
More informed decisions
Early detection of failures
Learning and continuous improvement
Limitations and precautions
- A policy without responsibility or verification remains a statement and does not change what comes through the door.
- Measuring without ability to act adds complexity without improving results.
- Models and certifications depend on assumptions, scope, data and verification.
