Green Purchasing Training
Getting the environment into business

Green Purchasing training services enable you to implement a purchasing and supply management strategy that influences the attitudes and priorities of your whole business.

Today, business cannot afford NOT to 'think green' in their purchasing decisions.  While this is correct, it is naive to expect that people can think green without recognising that the underlying business-as-usual mindset contains contradictions that are decidedly NOT green!  Therefore, at Green Purchasing, our priority is to teach you how to recognise them for what they are, and how you can change them. 

The absence of this knowledge explains why business leaders struggle with sustainability concepts despite good intentions.  Often they employ one or more 'champions' to implement initiatives, and while a measure of success is experienced the business-as-usual mindset continues to predominate.  What these leaders do not realise is that sustainable thinking must become 'inherent' in all their business decisions.

At Green Purchasing, our primary goal is to:

• develop an eco-culture mindset within the business,
• implement economic, ecological and ethical eco-efficiencies,
• create diversity through eco-effective process and product specifications.

Our programs are geared towards on-the-job training to track the implementation process.  We've noticed that training dollars can be wasted if the time lag between training and implementation is too great. 

At Green Purchasing our comprehensive knowledge stems from 30 years in purchasing and supply management specifically in manufacturing, corporate and IT.  This means we thoroughly understand purchasing realities and tailor our programs around your schedules and individual needs; this includes:  

• Short-term programs with ongoing mentoring
• Medium to long-term programs that track implementation  

After undergoing training, your  people will be clear about how to consistently 'think green' in their purchasing decisions, they will know what questions to ask, and what to look for.
