A sustainable approach to procurement is one aspect of that journey and this course covers the issues in sustainable procurement along with an overview of ISO 20400 the international standard which provides guidelines for organisation’s wishing to implement sustainable procurement practices

Sustainable procurement is the application of social and environmental responsibility to procurement policies, processes, and practices, and ISO 20400 is the international standard which sets out best practice for sustainable procurement.
