In this FREE webinar, you’ll discover sustainable procurement best practice in the Higher Education and Public Sectors to inform further cross-sector and cross-industry practice. Learning from a different sector will help organisations understand what best practice is possible in sustainable procurement outside of the tried and tested methods.
Why is sustainable procurement important? Almost 70-80% of our spend is within the supply chain, and procurement is a services function that can be utilised to embed your sustainability considerations into your supply chain. Sustainable procurement can also help identify and mitigate your risks and help achieve your sustainability goals.
Join Mellita D’Silva, Senior Sustainable Procurement Consultant at Action Sustainability, who will showcase three live client case studies with guest speakers from London Universities Purchasing Consortium, Westminster City Council, and the City of London.
You’ll discover the benefits of collaboration within sustainable procurement, and how you can promote cross-industry learning and best practice to become a leading organisation within sustainable procurement.
