As global warming and climate change continue to disrupt our environment, procurement professionals are in a pivotal position to purchase environmentally responsible products and facilitate the implementation of environmentally sound practices. However, making decisions based on sustainability can have problematic financial, operational, or even ethical implications. Sustainability programs can fail when stakeholders have different perspectives, there are barriers to change, or supply chain contributors engage in unethical practices. This course reviews how to implement simple sustainability practices, investigates major areas of concern when applying those practices, and explores how to develop long-term sustainability goals. Upon successful completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
Develop a sustainability plan by identifying important aspects of a sustainability program and determining strategies for overcoming obstacles
Develop a sustainability plan to market achievements and mitigate risks
Develop training and communications plans to minimize risks to sustainability plans
Implement a sustainability plan while keeping stakeholders engaged
