Training on Sustainable and Green Procurement Practices
Course Overview
Sustainable and green procurement is a strategic approach that integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations into procurement processes. It enables organizations to reduce environmental impact, promote ethical sourcing, and support corporate social responsibility (CSR) objectives.
This 5-day training course equips participants with practical knowledge and skills to implement sustainable procurement strategies. The program covers eco-friendly sourcing, supplier evaluation, sustainability criteria, and measurement of green initiatives’ impact. Participants will also explore regulatory frameworks, industry best practices, and tools for monitoring environmental performance in procurement.
Through case studies, practical exercises, and interactive discussions, participants gain hands-on experience in designing and executing procurement practices that reduce environmental footprints, enhance social responsibility, and deliver long-term economic benefits.
