Responsible procurement is a hot topic at present, with many institutions committed to working towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The impact of the covid-19 pandemic has driven sustainability in procurement further up the agenda. There are many great initiatives that the sector is leading on in terms of sustainable procurement, such as HEPAs own Responsible Procurement Group (RPG) and the EAUC’s Climate Commission.
The Advanced Sustainable Procurement e-learning module provides a detailed view of sustainable procurement through the ISO 20400 standard, and is aimed at individuals who are leading on embedding a sustainable approach to procurement within their institution.
The module takes learners through the framework surrounding the ISO 20400 standard – from Fundamentals, to Policy & Strategy, to Enablers and finishes by looking into Procurement Process in detail.
All our BUFDG Pro modules, including Advanced Sustainable Procurement, can be accessed here, and anyone in your university who doesn't have a BUFDG log in can get do a quick registration for e-learning here.
