Certified Sustainable Procurement Manager English and online
with procure.ch certificate
This course is part of the TWIN-PRO Accelerator Programme
Sustainability has long been an integral part of the economic and social debate. Both, consumers and other stakeholders are calling for a stronger commitment to the circular economy as well as to sustainable raw materials and recycling concepts. Sustainability is becoming a strategic competitive advantage for companies and purchasing is taking on a special key role for global sustainable development. But what does sustainability mean in purchasing? A rethink is called for!
«If you want to procure sustainably, this is the right course for you. No existing containers are filled anew, but new containers are created with a rethinking process. This also includes the concept of circular economy, an approach with a great impact on the thinking and actions of a procurer and the entire company.»
Antonia Stalder, Learning coach for circular economy
