The Supply Chain Sustainability School is a collaborative, industry-led platform designed to help organizations improve their understanding of ESG and economic issues across their workforce and supply chain. We offer free educational resources, live webinars, workshops, and accredited e-learning modules to support sustainable business practices.

Launched in 2012 in the UK, the School now has a total of near 280 Partner organizations across the UK (225), Ireland (17), and Australia (37) collaborating on ESG issues and best practices.

We are excited to announce the upcoming launch in the U.S.! The new platform will feature content specifically designed for U.S. priorities, along with collaboration groups to share best practices and insights on ESG and economic issues.

Why is the School launching in the US?

ESG issues have become increasingly important at the federal, state, and local levels in the U.S., affecting the country’s economic, environmental, and social future. Challenges like climate change, the renewable energy transition, and biodiversity loss require broad collaboration across sectors.

The construction, facilities management, and infrastructure sectors play a critical role in addressing these challenges. The launch event will highlight how the Supply Chain Sustainability School can support these sectors in driving sustainability across the U.S.
