Sustainable Procurement Principles and Implementation (IEMA)
Demonstrate an appropriate balance between your environmental, social and economic performance to achieve your sustainable procurement goals

Understand how central and local governments will be using sustainable procurement as a differentiator in the marketplace

"Sustainable" is the new buzzword in procurement. With both central and local governments now focusing on reducing their environmental and social impacts, their procurement processes will increasingly seek assurances about the sustainability performance of their supply chains. Progressive businesses large and small are leading by example, not only by making their activities more sustainable but by being able to report effectively on the benefits.

Accredited by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), this one day training course will enable you to tell a good story about the sustainability of your products and services through being able to demonstrate an appropriate balance between your environmental, social and economic performance. This demands new skills but yields valuable benefits to businesses of all sizes and sectors.
