Purchasing decarbonation strategy: challenges and implementation

Responsible purchasing and decarbonization



La décarbonation des achats, constitue un levier central de la compétitivité carbone des entreprises. Les décisions achats peuvent influer tout au long de la chaîne de valeur, de la sélection des fournisseurs à la gestion des produits en fin de vie. Au-delà de l'optimisation du QCD (qualité, coûts, délais), les achats doivent désormais répondre aux enjeux de réduction des émissions de Gaz à Effet de Serre (GES) et promouvoir des pratiques plus durables. Cette formation vous permettra de structurer et mettre en œuvre une démarche de décarbonation des achats adaptée à votre organisation.
