##### Welcome to Circular Procurement 101

Welcome to Sustainability Victoria’s Circular Procurement 101 foundational course. Thank you for joining the growing number of councils and organisations exploring how circular procurement can drive circular economy outcomes.

This course builds on concepts introduced in the Circular Economy 101 course and is designed to provide foundational knowledge on how circular economy principles can be applied to procurement decisions through circular procurement. We encourage participants to complete the Circular Economy 101 modules prior to commencing this course.

Throughout the course, you will explore the many opportunities to embed circularity into procurement documentation and processes, and identify approaches that are most relevant for your organisation.

The course takes approximately 4 hours to complete. You’ll receive a certificate of completion upon finishing the course. Your learning journey will include videos and readings, as well as activities, questions, and reflective exercises that support discussion with your peers. We encourage you to share your experiences and insights, and learn from one another to make the most of the course.
