Frequently Asked Questions
What is sustainable procurement and why does it matter?
Sustainable procurement is a structured approach for high-impact procurement that will deliver organizational goals for sustainability, balanced with commercial objectives. It does not replace traditional best practice for strategic procurement such as category management, SRM and supply chain management, but builds on them to become a new backbone that is proven to deliver on sustainability goals.
Who is this training suitable for?
Our sustainable procurement training is suitable for anyone in procurement, sustainability/ESG functions, business stakeholders or anyone in the organization that may benefit.
If I know about sustainability already, what is different about this training?
This training will build upon existing sustainability capability to provide practical learning for how to realize sustainability within the supply base. This requires the fusion between best practice procurement and deep sustainability know-how.
Does this course cover the legislation we need to comply with?
Yes. As part of the introduction to the world of sustainability, we provide training in the different legislation that needs to be complied with, and the steps required to make this happen.
Will this training help us address Scope 2 and 3 emissions?
Yes. Within the supply base assessment part of our training, we cover scope 2 and 3 emissions, how to assess suppliers and supply chains, and how to measure what we buy in terms of CO2e. From there, we look at how to determine the greatest risks, impacts and opportunities, and how to develop a supply-side improvement and development plan.
What is the difference between this training and others on ESG, CSR etc.?
Aside from terminology, our training focuses on how to apply proven procurement tools and know-how, alongside established sustainability know-how, to provide a practical and proven approach to drive supply-side sustainability for what we buy, our suppliers and supply chains.

Will this training help me assess my suppliers, supply chains and what we buy in terms of sustainability?
