Integrating Sustainability into the
Supply Chain for Buildings SGBC Course

Ideal for: Project Managers, Contractors, Building Professionals & Consultants, Product Manufacturers & Suppliers, Procurement Specialists & Specifiers.
Against the backdrop of global decarbonisation to mitigate the impact of climate change, Sustainable Supply Chain Management is rapidly emerging as a key tool for businesses to manage risks, improve efficiency and embrace sustainability across the organisation. Taking leadership action in addressing sustainability throughout the supply chain creates a ripple effect that encourages good governance practices and engenders further positive action by suppliers and partners.

In the built environment, a growing number of building developers and owners have adopted sustainable procurement practices as a core organisational policy. As global climate action picks up speed in light of renewed climate urgency, there is a greater need to embrace sustainable supply chain management to manage organisational risks and enhance operational efficiency.

This course will equip participants with the necessary knowledge to address environmental gaps in organisational sourcing and reporting, with a focus on the built environment. Key topics include how to identify and limit sustainability risks in supply chains, meaningfully integrate sustainability into procurement processes, as well as meet sustainability reporting requirements in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
