The Vice President and Minister of Economy and Finance, Pere Aragonès, said that "the commitment of the Catalan Government for social responsibility, sustainability and innovation is unequivocal", as evidenced by the fact that "almost 7 of each 10 euros that were spent in 2018 on public procurement included social clauses". However, the Vice President added that "we must continue advancing in the incorporation of new ethical criteria and responsible consumption in public procurement."
