Live Online Green and Sustainable Supply Chain Practices Training
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 23, 2026 · from USD 800
Much of an organisation's environmental footprint lies beyond its own sites, in purchased goods, freight and the disposal of products, which is why customers and investors now scrutinise suppliers as closely as the firm itself. The week begins with measuring a supply chain carbon footprint using the GHG Protocol, with emphasis on Scope 3 categories, activity data and emission factors. You will then identify reduction opportunities across sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing and transport, from modal shift and load optimisation to energy efficiency and renewable power. Packaging sessions compare recyclable, reusable and lighter-weight options.
Circular economy principles such as design for reuse, take-back schemes and remanufacturing are explored with practical examples. Supplier selection covers environmental criteria in tenders, supplier questionnaires, audits and collaborative improvement programmes, alongside waste reduction methods in stores and production. The final day addresses sustainability reporting, target setting and keeping public claims accurate. Procurement and logistics managers, sustainability officers, operations staff and suppliers responding to customer ESG demands will see quick wins for their own operation. You finish with a method for building a baseline footprint and a prioritised reduction plan.

About this course
This 5-day course covers environmental and sustainability practices in supply chain operations. Participants learn to measure supply chain carbon emissions, identify reduction opportunities, evaluate sustainable alternatives, and implement green initiatives from procurement to last-mile delivery.
Topics include circular economy principles, waste reduction and recycling programs, sustainable packaging materials, green supplier criteria, and environmental reporting that align supply chain operations with organizational sustainability commitments.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public procurement bodies, commercial supply chains, logistics operations, and donor-funded tendering environments, examining how green and sustainable supply chain practices is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for building a carbon reduction roadmap, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Develop robust green and sustainable supply chain practices frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
- Analyze performance using recognized evaluation methods drawn from building a carbon reduction roadmap.
- Design practical systems that strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence generation.
- Evaluate outcomes and assess longer-term impact across a range of operating contexts.
- Apply relevant tools, frameworks and analytical methodologies confidently and appropriately.
- Integrate designing for reuse and recyclability into existing organizational processes and reporting structures.
- Strengthen decision-making and operational effectiveness through evidence-based professional practice.
