Training material

A package of educational material has been developed based on the knowledge provided here on the Procurement Panel. It consists of two presentations, each designed for approximately 3 hours, and includes supplementary material for deeper learning.

The main target group is public procurement units, but of course, it is equally important that purchasing organizations and suppliers understand the purpose and tools for fossil-free and circular procurement, as well as the challenges and opportunities.

The material is free to use for internal training. Upon request, we are happy to organize a workshop training session led by an expert, either online or on-site (please contact us for a quote).
