Green Public Procurement (GPP) promotes sustainable development by integrating environmental criteria into public procurement processes. In Indonesia, GPP implementation is gradually gaining momentum, particularly in the forestry sector, through the Indonesian Timber Legality Assurance System (SVLK). SVLK verifies the legality of timber products and has contributed to improved forest governance by reducing illegal logging and enhancing stakeholder participation, transparency, and accountability. However, challenges persist, including lengthy permitting processes, high costs, and capacity limitations. This study, by evaluating SVLK's role in facilitating GPP adoption within Indonesia's forestry sector since its introduction in 2010 until current updates, has uncovered significant findings. These findings highlight SVLK's positive impacts on product value enhancement, market access, and environmental sustainability. Nonetheless, the urgency of streamlining the bureaucracy and investing in capacity building is underscored, as these actions are crucial to optimize SVLK's effectiveness in GPP implementation. By analyzing the Indonesian experience, this research enriches the theoretical understanding of GPP principles within the context of the forestry sector and informs targeted policy formulation.
