Ready to take your next steps in Sustainable Procurement? Now you're on the sustainable procurement journey, are you ready to take the next steps towards BS 8903, but not sure what to do next? This 2-day Advanced course is based on BS8903 - the world's first publication to define how to effectively deliver sustainable procurement in practice - and will help you to gain a much deeper understanding of sustainable procurement, your key risks and opportunities, your enablers and how you can harness your procurement process to deliver more sustainable outcomes. In addition, delegates will receive a free copy of the new BSI publication "Principles of Sustainable Procurement", (written by Cathy Berry of Action Sustainability as Lead Technical Author in conjunction with Shaun McCarthy and Martin Sykes) and based on BS 8903.
Why should I attend? If you are looking for an in-depth understanding of the principles and framework of BS8903, How to be great at Sustainable Procurement - Advanced will take you through the key areas of the guidance, helping you to enhance the way you manage your environmental and social performance of your supply chains, reducing your risks and identifying opportunities for greater efficiencies, as well as enhancing your reputation through the delivery of sustainable outcomes.
Who should attend? This course is for managers and procurement professionals like you, whether you are a buyer, working in CSR or have a material influence in procurement decisions. Public sector buyers are welcome but it should be noted that the course does not cover public policy or EU procurement rules in any detail. A course for public sector people based on BS 8903 is under development and will be available shortly.
For you to get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of sustainability and a detailed understanding of your contribution to the procurement process before attending. Action Sustainability has a Foundation course available if you do not have this introductory knowledge.
Cost The course runs for two days at a cost of £795 (plus VAT), including course materials, a complementary copy of the BSI publication Principles of Sustainable Procurement, lunch and refreshments.
