A one day training course to enable you to identify and manage the sustainability impacts of your supply chain
With the impact of the Simms report on procurement and changes in government spending, environmental and social pressures are exerting an ever-more important influence on our organisations. This course has been developed to provide a unique day looking at Sustainable Procurement.
The course is designed for people tasked with addressing the impact of their supply chain on the environment and the society in which we live. It is also ideal for those who have either just started or wish to start to gain the knowledge and confidence to tackle sustainability issues in their organisation's supply chain.
For those organisations already leading in this field the course is excellent for procurement and environmental staff new to these issues or to budget holders without a professional purchasing background but who need to be aware of the sustainability impacts their decisions can have.
