On June 22, 2012, following the BVBG annual event in Berlin, the BVBG Quality Seal Board was constituted. This committee, made up of various opinion leaders in the healthcare industry, has ten members and supports the values set out in the charter of the quality seal.
The new high-level committee is intended to assess topic-related fields of work in terms of content and topicality within the quality seal initiative of the Federal Association of Procurement Institutions in the Health Industry in Germany (BVBG), to provide suggestions and to formulate impulses for the further development of the BVBG quality seal and the BVBG key figures compass, as well as to support the empirical detailed processing for online surveys. The expertise of the advisory board members also comes into play in the preparation and communication of health policy discussion contributions or publications.

“Partnership and sustainable procurement” ensures the highest quality of patient care in the future and makes a significant contribution to being able to offer innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to every citizen.
