Introduction

Sustainable Airport Procurement Training Course is designed to equip aviation professionals with advanced knowledge and practical skills in green procurement, sustainable supply chain management, environmental responsibility, and strategic sourcing within the airport industry. As airports worldwide adopt net-zero targets, circular economy principles, ESG frameworks, and climate resilience strategies, sustainable procurement has become a critical component of modern airport management. This course explores innovative procurement strategies that reduce carbon emissions, improve supplier performance, enhance operational efficiency, and support long-term sustainability goals across airport ecosystems.

With increasing global pressure from regulators, passengers, airlines, and communities, airports must integrate sustainability criteria into procurement decisions involving infrastructure, technology, operations, and services. This training provides participants with practical tools for developing sustainable procurement policies, conducting lifecycle assessments, managing responsible suppliers, and implementing international best practices. Through global case studies and industry-focused applications, participants will gain the capability to drive sustainable transformation and create measurable environmental, economic, and social value within airport operations.
