Sustainability in the supply chain affects every one of us. Reputational damage is not the driver for change, it is the need to save our planet.
Every moment we delay taking action to ensure our supply chain is sustainable means we will need to do more in the future so the future starts now.
It’s more important than ever that organisations plan their part to create a sustainable future.
The Sustainable Procurement Skills course will show you how to bring sustainability to the core of your procurement planning and how to create strategies to deliver long-term sustainability.
