Sustainable Purchasing Training


Corporate Social Responsibility

First let's deal with terminology and there's quite a bit in this area: CSR (Corporate Social Responsiblity), Supply Side CSR, Sustainable Supply Chain and the label we use which we feel is all encompassing - Sustainable Purchasing.

We can provide a range of Sustainable Purchasing courses. We offer standard courses however our experience suggests the value comes when we customise our courses to the individual challenges of your organisation and the specific organisational targets in this area.  Our Sustainable Purchasing courses are therefore fully customisable and we will work with you in advance of the training to develop a learning experience and workshop that will both uplift capability and provide you with some real outputs to help develop your organisation on the Sustainable Purchasing journey. 

Typically our Sustainable Purchasing training includes an introduction on the general subject of CSR and Sustainability and the specifics of Sustainability in the supply chain. We provide a toolkit for analysing and understanding supply chain impacts and identifying the priorities for improvement. We can also include a workshop element within the training to work on specific supply scenarios and develop an improvement roadmap. 

Our Sustainable Purchasing training helps delegates to understand this difficult area but crucially to identify specific areas where action can be taken, aligned with overall organisational goals. We explore how things happen on the ground in remote locations and what is actually required to drive sustainable change.

Add our on-line Academy with our Sustainable Purchasing module and you have the complete capability uplift program, process and toolkit available to your team at their fingertips.

Experienced trainers bring the Supply Side CSR training to life using a combination of inspirational tuition, faciliated debate, groupwork and case studies.
