Course Overview

A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside supply chain carbon reduction. Warehouse performance on carbon reduction is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Comparative studies of this aspect of procurement and supply operations across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme suits teams tackling supply chain carbon reduction together as readily as individuals attending alone. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on the practice within procurement and supply operations and revise it on evidence. Plans for carbon reduction often fail at the handover point between functions. It establishes a shared vocabulary for supply chain carbon reduction so that teams can disagree productively about it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of carbon reduction is examined, not just described. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of procurement and supply operations rather than a set of notes.
