BY PROFESSIONALS, FOR PROFESSIONALS
Communities Built Around Your Industry and Your Specialization
A professional community for procurement and supply chain, organized by the sector you work in and the discipline you practice.
The people who have already solved your problem are here.
WHY SCPMI
The same problem gets solved a hundred times over.
Most of what a procurement or supply chain professional learns stays inside the organization where they learned it. The next company solves the same problem from scratch, and so does the one after that.
SCPMI connects the people who do this work, across sectors and across borders, so that what one of them learns is available to the rest.
OUR APPROACH
Built for your discipline and your industry.
Sourcing pharmaceuticals is not sourcing aircraft parts. Demand planning in retail is not demand planning in humanitarian logistics.
Most professional development teaches the discipline and leaves you to work out how it applies in your sector. SCPMI builds along both, so you can enter through either.
The Industry
Every sector we serve has its own regulations, supplier markets, technologies and measures of performance. We build for each one.
The Discipline
Sourcing, planning, logistics, analytics, risk, sustainability and more, developed separately for procurement and for supply chain because the two are practiced differently.
CERTIFICATIONS
Choose the pathway that fits your goal.
Assessed certifications open progressively from 2027. Each one starts with a study of what professionals in that role actually do, validated by practitioners. Register your interest and we will tell you when the one you want opens.
Professional programs
A formal grounding in procurement or supply chain.
Specialist programs
Depth in a single discipline.
Industry-specific programs
The discipline applied inside your sector.
Leadership programs
For those running a function, or moving toward it.
OUR VISION
To build the world's largest, most trusted and most influential supply chain and procurement community.
OUR COMMUNITIES
Find the people who work where you work, and the people who do what you do.
An industry community puts you among people in your sector. A specialization community puts you among people who do your job, wherever they happen to do it. Join as many as you want.

INDUSTRY ESSENTIALS 5.0
A course for every sector we serve. Included in membership.
How your industry works, what regulates it, where its risks sit, and how procurement and supply chain create value within it.
Self-paced and built for working professionals, with video from practitioners and case studies from the sector.
There is no examination. You receive a certificate of completion when you finish.
FOR ORGANIZATIONS
Developing your people is not the same as developing your function.
We assess the function itself, against a published standard written for your sector, and recognize the organizations that meet it.
Published standards
Written and validated by the professionals who work to them. Read the standard before you decide to be measured.
Independent assessment
We do not consult on the organizations we assess. Assessors evaluate evidence rather than help build it.
Recognition that states what was examined
Procurement, supply chain, or both, conferred by an independent Recognition Board.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, including every Industry Essentials 5.0 course. We are funded by assessed certifications and organizational assessment, not by membership.
Your industry communities, your specialization communities, and the full Industry Essentials library.
Anyone working in procurement or supply chain, at any stage, in any sector, anywhere.
An industry community brings together people in the same sector. A specialization community brings together people who do the same work, whatever their sector. Most members join both.
No.
No. It is a course, with no examination and a certificate of completion at the end.

No. You choose what you receive and how often, including nothing at all.
Massachusetts, United States. We operate digitally, so there are no regional offices and nothing you need to travel to.
Our certifications are designed in alignment with ISO/IEC 17024:2026, the international standard for bodies that certify people. We are not accredited under it and we do not claim to be.
Free to Join. Yours to Shape.
Membership costs nothing. The opportunity to contribute is open to every professional who wants it.
