Skanska kicks off U.S. supply chain sustainability school

Skanska USA recently launched the Supply Chain Sustainability School in the United States. With over 12 years of experience training more than 137,000 individuals in the U.K., Ireland, and Australia, the Supply Chain Sustainability School team is now focused on replicating this success in the U.S.

“This new resource will provide individuals and businesses with essential resources and educational materials to support their understanding of sustainability strategies that can help scale their business while meeting regulations,” said Myrrh Caplan, senior vice president of sustainability for Skanska USA Building, in a news release. “We are committed to advancing sustainability alongside other School Partners, establishing new industry standards and strengthening the skills of our workforce."

The U.S. school will provide free learning opportunities, facilitate knowledge sharing, and promote a collaborative approach to addressing critical sustainability challenges, including energy and carbon, sustainability reporting, environmental management, waste and circular economy, biodiversity, community engagement, and supplier diversity. The Supply Chain Sustainability School will be free to join, offering access to hundreds of accredited online sustainability training sessions and e-learning resources.

Companies interested in collaborating with industry peers to shape the school’s development for the U.S. supply chain can become partners.
