About Course

An organization's journey toward holistic green growth is intricately linked with the green performance of its supply chain. In this era, transparency and accountability are no longer optional; they are fundamental requirements not only within the organization but also across the entire supply chain. While it's undeniably a challenging endeavor, it holds tremendous significance, primarily due to the opportunities and risks that the supply chain presents to any business. The pivotal step towards achieving a greener supply chain is the integration of sustainability principles. Our upcoming workshop aims to enhance participants' comprehension of these green supply chain concepts.

The CII Certified Professional in Green Supply Chain certificate course has been meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how a sustainable supply chain can substantially enhance the overall sustainability of a corporate entity. In today's fast-evolving business landscape, with corporations striving to embrace concepts such as carbon neutrality and zero waste to landfill, greening the supply chain has emerged as of paramount importance. This course is a key step in preparing professionals to meet these sustainability challenges head-on and steer their organizations toward a greener, more sustainable future.
