Sustainable Value Chains Procurement, Circularity & Supply Chain Resilience

• Strategic leaders: C-suite executives, board members, and senior public sector officials accountable for ESG alignment, supply-chain governance, and social value delivery.
• Delivery leaders: project and programme directors, client-side sponsors, and operations managers managing multi-supplier networks and mitigating supply-chain risk under volatile conditions.
• Change leaders: procurement directors, sustainability officers, ESG managers, and SME owners leading the transition to circular-economy models and resilient supply-network design.
• Emerging leaders: high-potential professionals seeking advanced capability in sustainable procurement, supplier innovation, and lifecycle value optimisation.

• Equip project and commercial leaders with advanced capability in sustainable, resilient procurement.
• Strengthen understanding of ESG-aligned sourcing, circular-economy models, and supply-chain risk.
• Enable participants to apply sustainability assessment, carbon accounting, and resilience-planning techniques.
• Develop skills in collaborative contracting, local value creation, and supplier development.
• Prepare professionals to lead procurement strategies that deliver environmental, social, and economic value.

• Co-designed and co-delivered: academically grounded content from NTU, set in industry context by practitioners from the Blocx Matrix network.
• Blended learning: expert-led theory, live case studies, and hands-on application.
• Interactive workshops: supplier scoring, carbon-footprint mapping, and circularity design sprints.
• Digital tool labs: blockchain for material provenance, AI-driven logistics, and digital product passports.
• Industry case studies from net-zero housing, infrastructure retrofits, and modular construction.
• Action planning: a personal value-chain strategy checklist for immediate implementation.

On completion, participants will be able to:

• Critically evaluate procurement strategies through an ESG and resilience lens and their application in decision-making.
• Analyse circular-economy principles and their application to procurement models that reduce waste, extend asset life, and optimise resource flows.
• Assess supplier networks for resilience, implementing diversification, localisation, and collaborative-contracting strategies.
• Evaluate digital tools, such as blockchain, AI-driven analytics, and transparency platforms, to enhance supply-chain visibility and accountability.
• Examine carbon-accounting methodologies and Scope 3 emissions management to align procurement with climate commitments and regulation.
• Integrate procurement frameworks that balance cost efficiency with social value, ethical sourcing, and long-term value creation.

Participants leave able to lead procurement as a core strategic function rather than a cost-management activity. The programme is aligned with global standards including ISO 20400 (sustainable procurement), ISO 14064 (carbon accounting), and Ellen MacArthur Foundation circular-economy principles. For corporate clients, it can form part of a sustainability leadership pathway alongside the Project Leadership Masterclass, Commercial Intelligence, and Strategic Asset Optimisation.
