The Purchasing Guidelines are aimed at anyone influencing the purchasing process in Danish public sector organisations and institutions. This applies equally to managers, who establish the overall guidelines and responsibilities for energy and purchasing, those responsible for IT, and technicians and staff that plan and carry out the purchase of electrically powered devices and equipment.
 
The Purchasing Guidelines facilitate the organisation of a responsible purchasing policy that takes both finances and the environment into account. The Guidelines also comply with the legal requirements covering energy efficient purchasing by government institutions, and with the voluntary agreements concluded with the Danish municipalities.
