Chartered Sustainable Procurement & Supplier Compliance Lead (CSPSC)®
Program Overview
The Chartered Sustainable Procurement & Supplier Compliance Lead (CSPSC)® is a globally recognized credential designed to certify procurement and supply chain professionals in driving sustainable sourcing practices, Scope 3 emissions accountability, and full-spectrum supplier ESG compliance.
As ESG frameworks and environmental stewardship become non-negotiable in oil & gas and energy operations, upstream companies and logistics partners are under pressure to trace, audit, and mitigate the ecological and social impact of their extended supplier networks. This certification equips professionals with cutting-edge tools and techniques to lead sustainable procurement initiatives, enforce compliance beyond Tier 1 suppliers, and align sourcing practices with international sustainability standards and investor expectations.
The CSPSC® designation validates your readiness to implement green procurement frameworks, conduct traceability assessments, and lead supplier compliance efforts within complex, multinational supply chains.
Why This Certification< Matters
Over 70% of emissions and ESG risks lie outside direct operations—in supplier networks and logistics chains. Regulatory bodies and investors are demanding rigorous traceability, third-party validation, and emissions disclosure from end-to-end supply partners. The CSPSC® provides organizations and individuals with a strategic advantage by enabling them to actively monitor and enhance the ESG performance of their vendor ecosystems.
Certified professionals are recognized as critical enablers of sustainable growth, transparency in compliance, and supply chain resilience.
