What we are doing
The Make ICT Fair project aims to improve the lives of workers and communities associated with information and communications technology (ICT) supply chains, particularly in the Global South. The public procurement aspect of the project focuses on using socially responsible public procurement (SRPP) to improve social responsibility within supply chains. The project enables ICT purchasers/procurers working in the EU public sector to improve workers' and communities' rights and conditions in the ICT industry.

What we are achieving
ICLEI develops procurement guidance including criteria and verfication schemes that consider social responsibility throughout the whole supply-chain of ICT products. Additionally, ICLEI is pilot testing procurement criteria with public authorities and consulting with manufacturers and suppliers of ICT through the Market Engagement series. ICLEI’s ‘Meet the Buyer’ event series brings buyers and suppliers of ICT together to discuss public procurement’s needs for fair labour conditions along ICT hardware supply chains and how suppliers can respond to this demand.
