Overview
The Certified Green Purchasing Professional (CGPP) verifies training in green procurement and sustainability — a fast-growing area as more companies put sustainability plans, policies, and procedures in place.
Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP) certification is a requirement for the CGPP.
Benefits
Positions you as a specialist as sustainability requirements grow across procurement organizations.
Demonstrates verified training in green procurement policy and practice, not just general purchasing skill.
Complements the CPP designation with a fast-growing specialty area.
Requirements
- 01
Must already hold Certified Purchasing Professional (CPP) certification.
- 02
Complete the course / exam-prep book “Preparation for the CGPP Exam” and pass the examination.
- 03
Certification requires all CPP requirements to remain in good standing — if the CPP lapses, the CGPP lapses with it.
