Course Overview

This course is designed to help procurement executives integrate environmental, social and governance considerations into procurement, sourcing, contracting and supply chain decision-making. As organizations strengthen their sustainability commitments, procurement has become an important mechanism for influencing environmental performance, ethical business practices, responsible sourcing and sustainability performance throughout the value chain. The programme examines how organizations can move beyond conventional price-based procurement toward procurement decisions that consider total lifecycle value, environmental impacts, social responsibility, supplier governance, climate considerations and long-term sustainability. Participants learn how to develop sustainable procurement policies, incorporate ESG requirements into supplier selection and tender evaluation, conduct supplier sustainability assessments and establish ESG-related contract requirements and performance indicators. The course also explores green procurement, circular economy principles, responsible sourcing, human rights considerations and supply chain carbon management. The programme enables procurement and sustainability professionals to work together in developing supply chains that are commercially competitive, environmentally responsible, socially sustainable and resilient.
