Procurement for the provision of administrative temporary labour (agency staff) to the ECB as detailed in the tender documents.

Seit 2010 implementiert die EZB ein Umweltmanagementsystem (EMS) gemäß der internationalen Norm ISO 14001:2015 und der Verordnung (EG) Nr. 1221/2009, geändert durch die Verordnung (EU) 2017/1505 und 2018/2026. Die Priorität der EZB liegt nach wie vor darin, Treibhausgasemissionen zu vermeiden, wo immer dies möglich ist, und die Emissionen in Bereichen zu begrenzen, in denen sie nicht vermieden werden können. In den Fällen, in denen die Emissionen nicht weiter begrenzt werden können und die Treibhausgasemissionen derzeit nicht auf Null reduziert werden können, hat die EZB beschlossen, ihre Treibhausgasemissionen, ausgedrückt in Tonnen CO2-Äquivalent, als ergänzende Maßnahme zu ihren Klimaschutzbemühungen auszugleichen (2021: 16 023,2 Tonnen CO2). Die EZB plant die Einführung eines dynamischen Beschaffungssystems mit einer Laufzeit von zunächst zwei Jahren, das nach Wahl der EZB um weitere zwei Jahre verlängert werden kann (Gesamtlaufzeit bis zu vier Jahren).
