Description
What is the launch event about?
To help the U.S. reach its net zero target by 2050, collaboration and embedding sustainability across large supply chains are essential.
The Supply Chain Sustainability School is an industry-led initiative aimed at helping organizations enhance their understanding of ESG and economic issues within their workforce and supply chains. Following its success in the UK, Australia, and Ireland, we are excited to announce the launch of the School in the U.S. in 2025, with content tailored to both local and national priorities.
Our launch event is hosted in collaboration with our Founding Partners, who will discuss their shared vision for creating a more sustainable future in the U.S. These Partners include: Burns & McDonnell, CRH, Fluor, Keller, National Grid, and Skanska.

Frequently asked questions:
What is the Supply Chain Sustainability School?
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.
Who should attend?
The event is open to anyone interested in learning more about the Supply Chain Sustainability School. Professionals from all sectors, job roles, and levels of seniority are welcome.
