Sustainability & Impact in Supply Chains and Procurement

Catalog description

After four generations of explosive global trade growth, a growing awareness of social and environmental externalities has triggered a global movement toward sustainable supply chains. ESG pressure from investors as well as international protocols are driving operations and supply management to become more sustainable. However, getting there requires a change in mindset and a new toolbox. This class teaches frameworks and methods for integrating sustainability principles with supply chain management practices, leveraging the expertise from two pioneers in their fields, one in environmental impacts and decarbonization, and the other in social impact and the complex nuances of decentralized supply chains. Real-life case studies and current events are used to equip students to successfully lead their companies’ supply chains into the next generation.
