What Is the Climate and Environment Weighting (30 %-regelen, Norway)?
This is a Norwegian procurement term. The main rule that climate and environment must be weighted at a minimum of 30 percent in competitions subject to a publication requirement.
What does the 30 percent rule require?
That climate and environmental considerations are weighted at a minimum of 30 percent in competitions subject to the publication duty, as the main rule.
Can a buyer depart from it?
Yes, where environmental requirements in the specification give a clearly better environmental result. The buyer must then explain the choice in the procurement protocol.
What does it mean for suppliers?
Environmental documentation now carries a large share of the score. Emissions data, product declarations and transport solutions are worth preparing before the competition rather than during it.
