Supply Chain Sustainability Academy, Africa

The Supply Chain Sustainability Academy in Africa is set up as a subsidiary of the International Network for Corporate Social Responsibility (IN-CSR) to build the much-needed capacity on global best practices in supply chain and procurement while developing strategic ways of mitigating any challenges. The knowledge gained from the various courses will help reduce risk exposures for organisations, increase trade and investment, and make sub–Saharan Africa a more favourable destination for foreign investment especially during the present economic uncertainties. Membership to the Academy will give individuals and organisations access to hundreds of learning resources and CPD-accredited contents on our website. The academy also offers bespoke training, coaching and consultancy services as well as networking opportunities through our monthly webinars and annual conferences. The aim is to extend the boundaries of best practice in sustainability, by working with leading international partners who are recognised by their peers as leaders in their class. The Academy runs on member subscriptions and allows partners to access training on ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement Certification for persons as well as specialised courses on Sustainability, Offsite, BIM, Lean and Management and offers them the opportunity to attend our webinars or in-class training and networking events, gain CPD points, complete a self-assessment and get a bespoke action plan, complete e-learning modules and access various training resources. It is designed specifically for businesses operating in the African continent, including those exporting or importing across the region. The Supply Chain Sustainability Academy is a learning environment aimed at upskilling those working in sustainability, supply chain and procurement across all sectors. We cover the entire supply chain and procurement process with focus on 17 key topics of sustainability.
