Capability development grounded in the global standard for the procurement profession
CIPS sets the standard for the profession
CIPS is the world’s largest professional body for procurement and supply chain professionals. Founded as a not-for-profit organisation in 1932 and granted a Royal Charter in 1992, it awards qualifications and accreditations, develops capability at both individual and organisational level, and brings together a global network of experts across major industries. Profitia is the exclusive CIPS partner in Poland and Central Europe.
CIPS Corporate Certification
This is the only globally recognised accreditation for excellence in corporate procurement and supply. It validates the strategies, processes and professional practices of the procurement function while providing a clear route towards world-class performance. The process supports cost reduction, risk management, performance measurement, stronger stakeholder relationships, and a more ethical and responsible operating model.
MCIPS and the Procurement Executive Development Programme
MCIPS is an internationally recognised mark of advanced procurement knowledge and management experience, comparable with professional qualifications such as CFA or ACCA. Independent research indicates that MCIPS holders earn around 15% more than peers in comparable roles without the qualification. PEDP prepares experienced procurement leaders for the Management Entry Route towards achieving MCIPS status.
