Italy's Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) for Green Public Procurement in Construction

Italy's Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) are legally binding environmental standards for public tenders, particularly in construction and materials. Introduced in 2008 and made mandatory in 2015, the CAM are regularly updated and integrated into procurement law. They cover the entire public tender lifecycle for construction and renovation projects, driving demand for low-carbon materials and promoting sustainable building practices.
