About this course
Sustainable Procurement gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of principles of sustainable procurement and environmental and social criteria, then builds the skills to apply supplier ESG assessment, reporting sustainable spend and embedding sustainability in policy in real work. Procurement, logistics and supply chain courses for buyers, planners and managers building resilient, cost-effective supply. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2028.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
