- Use at least ten resources (or attend events) in the last 6 months
- Demonstrate an increase in sustainability competence
- Actively share knowledge and experience with other members – either with a case study or speaking at a School event
The Supply Chain Sustainability School was launched in 2012 and is an award winning, industry wide collaboration led by industry partners and members and offers access to thousands of learning resources and CPD accredited content.
The School is completely free and allows access to training in the following five different topics:
- Sustainability

The School also offers a suite of over 80 e-Learning resources which cover topics from carbon reduction to modern slavery. These modules vary in length, and can be accessed on a variety of devices with many that are CPD accredited which can be used as evidence towards any personal, professional development goals.
Amberon TM Managing Director Terry Musson told us:
“As members for 6 years, it’s clear for all see we’ve had a commitment to sustainability in our practices. As we take that up a level in 2021 however, the gold status times perfectly with our own development of the Green-7 initiative.
“We’re proud to have hit all of the right notes to be awarded gold membership, but I can boldly state that this is not
merely a box ticking exercise for us. Our commitment to a greener, more sustainable company, set of practices, and indeed, a greener industry will not waiver.
“A big thank you and congratulations also to our Group SHEQ Manager Jeff Quimby, who has worked diligently and passionately to drive us to this gold standard achievement.
“We would like to thank the school who continue to provide the educational material which has proven so useful for us in re-shaping the way we now operate as a business. This is continuing to assist us on our journey to be the most sustainable, environmentally innovative and best practice equality and diversity employer within the traffic management industry.”
