As the leading organization in the advancement of professional purchasing, the American Purchasing Society announces a new designation to meet the growing marketplace demand and serve its members. In collaboration with Robert Menard , Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP) and Certified Professional Purchasing Consultant (CPPC), the Certified Green Purchasing Professional (CGPP) designation will be available in early 2012.
Sustainability is all about preservation and conservation, which are synonyms for savings. Savings are the sole province and forte of the purchasing profession. I am proud to partner with the Society in this important matter. The Society is the industry leader in development of products and services to meet the needs of the purchasing profession.
The Examination will ensure that the CGPP designee has competence and skills necessary to lead and master the challenges of a changing business landscape.
As part of the curriculum, my workbook and manual, Green Purchasing and Sustainability will guide designee candidates through this new and promising field. I will also be personally available for coaching throughout the Exam process.
More details will be available soon.
