Learning Objectives

  • Define sustainable procurement and explain its long-term business benefits.
  • Analyze the purpose, structure, and latest updates of ISO 20400.
  • Assess current procurement policies to identify areas for sustainability improvements.
  • Integrate ESG principles and circular economy strategies into procurement decisions.
  • Establish performance indicators and verification methods for sustainability compliance.
  • Identify self-assessment tools and stakeholder engagement strategies for implementation.

Course Overview

Organizations worldwide are prioritizing sustainability in their operations, with procurement playing a critical role in reducing climate, social, and environmental impacts. Sustainable procurement ensures that purchasing decisions align with ethical, environmental, and social responsibility goals, promoting long-term value and compliance with global sustainability standards.

ISO 20400, the international standard for sustainable procurement, was reviewed in 2023 and confirmed unchanged until 2028. However, new recommendations emphasize the need for certification options, self-assessment tools, stronger linkages to ESG frameworks, and increased adoption of circular economy principles. This course will explore how these updates impact procurement policies, supplier selection, and risk management, ensuring compliance with evolving sustainability expectations.

Major Topics: 

  • Key Elements of ISO 20400
  • ESG Linkages & Circular Economy
  • Evaluating Supply Chain Risks
  • Performance Metrics & Verification
  • Industry-Specific Sustainable Practices

This course will also cover performance measurement, industry-specific challenges, and the growing need for external validation in sustainable procurement. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to enhance their procurement processes, drive sustainable business practices, and align with evolving global expectations. Join us and take a step toward a more responsible and sustainable supply chain!
