摘要
The implementation of green public procurement (GPP) in the Maltese public administration was perceived as an important step that supports the achievement of environmental policies. Institutions are in place for the application of GPP. However, there are difficulties in practice, and more needs to be done in terms of training and capacity development. This study concludes that managerial decisions are taken to legitimize actions, so that the administrator appears to be doing the right thing in the eyes of the stakeholders. Institutions intentionally adopt GPP to adhere to the norms and values of society. Whether GPP has a positive effect on the environment is a secondary objective.
