Managing Ethical Procurement and Supply (L5M5)

Module Purpose

On completion of this module, learners will be able to explain how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations can influence the ethical and sustainable elements of procurement and supply arrangements.

Module aim(s)

Procurement and supply activity across the globe requires organisations to understand and address associated ethical and sustainability challenges. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations provide a holistic view of ethics and sustainability issues organisations must consider when working across supply chains. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations challenge decision-making arrangements, and transparency and demand effective stakeholder engagement to support further improvements in securing ethical and sustainable supply chains. This module is designed to give those with responsibility for the procurement and supply functions an understanding of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) considerations and how these influence ethical and sustainable procurement and supply.
