Green Procurement & Sustainable Sourcing
Buy green — procurement rules and supplier standards that cut emissions.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Climate shocks are repricing assets across your portfolio, but green procurement risk still sits in a CSR annex rather than in the risk register where decisions are made. Physical risk does not wait for disclosure regimes: the drought, the flood and the stranded asset are already on the balance sheet. You leave with a baselined, costed and sequenced green procurement blueprint — and the data architecture to defend every number in it.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Model green procurement project economics to the standard lenders require.
- Produce disclosure-grade green procurement reporting that survives assurance.
- Prepare green procurement data and governance for third-party assurance.
- Read materiality in green procurement: what matters financially, and to whom.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Border Tax on Your Best Customer
A cement manufacturer exports a third of its output to Europe. Carbon border rules and a customer’s net-zero mandate threaten the largest contract — and the green procurement data required to prove compliance does not yet exist in the supply chain.
Your decision: Fund the supplier data programme, pivot the market, or risk the contract — each with different costs and credibility.
IPAT Data Lab™
The green procurement claims in a regional bank’s report cannot survive an assurance engagement — yet.
Dataset: Synthetic ESG data-pipeline extracts with estimation gaps and inconsistent boundaries.
Your task: Repair the pipeline, rebuild the disclosure-grade numbers, and run the assurance pre-check.
An assurance-ready green procurement dataset and disclosure draft.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
