Overview

ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement Practitioner Training Course is a one-week practitioner course for procurement, sourcing, supplier, sustainability, risk, contract, and supply-chain professionals, who leave with a Sustainable Procurement Implementation Plan. The course connects policy alignment, procurement governance, lifecycle costing, value for money, supplier due diligence, sustainability criteria, responsible sourcing, supplier engagement, evidence, and performance improvement. Agile Leaders Training Center develops ISO 20400 sustainable procurement practice.

Who Should Attend

Teams responsible for procurement policy, governance, and accountability

Procurement, sourcing, and category-management functions
Contracts, legal, risk, and compliance teams
Supply-chain and supplier-management functions

FAQs

Who suits ISO 20400 sustainable procurement practitioner training?

ISO 20400 practitioner training suits professionals who shape procurement policy, sourcing, supplier management, sustainability, risk, contracts, or supply chains and who can work with procurement and supplier evidence.

How does ISO 20400 training differ from general procurement training?

ISO 20400 training focuses on integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into procurement governance and decisions, while general procurement training covers broader purchasing processes and commercial skills.

Is ISO 20400 a certifiable management-system standard?

ISO 20400 provides guidance for integrating sustainability into procurement; the course applies that guidance and does not present it as a certifiable management-system standard.

How does lifecycle costing support sustainable procurement?

Lifecycle costing supports sustainable procurement by comparing costs and impacts across acquisition, use, maintenance, and end-of-life rather than relying only on the purchase price.

What evidence supports supplier due diligence under ISO 20400?

Supplier due diligence uses risk screening, policies, disclosures, traceability, assessment records, contract evidence, performance data, corrective actions, and documented engagement proportionate to the procurement context.

Conclusion

Participants take back a Sustainable Procurement Implementation Plan linking policy, governance, risks, stakeholders, lifecycle value, sourcing criteria, supplier due diligence, contracts, evidence, and performance improvement. It makes priorities, controls, responsibilities, indicators, and actions traceable. The plan supports coordinated implementation across procurement, sustainability, risk, legal, finance, operations, and supply-chain teams.
