Plan to attend our "Introduction to Sustainable Purchasing," a morning learning event offered in Vancouver on February 24. Take a look!

Also watch for “Advanced Sustainable Purchasing,” scheduled for the Spring of 2012.

A better buying strategy can reduce your carbon footprint and offer other measurable results to help you deliver on your corporate responsibility commitments. Our learning events are the place to begin.
