I found the Sustainable Procurement Practices course to be a great introduction to the topic. The course covered a wide range of subjects, from the basics of sustainable procurement to more advanced topics like life cycle assessment and supply chain management. I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, such as how to conduct a sustainability audit and develop a procurement strategy. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors were responsive to questions and feedback. One thing that I found particularly useful was the discussion on stakeholder engagement and communication - it's an area that I've struggled with in the past, but the course provided some valuable insights and tips. Overall, I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others, although I did find some of the assignments to be a bit tedious at times.
