Course description
Sustainability in supply chain management generally refers to continuous accountability for risk and negative impact caused by a range of actions along the supply chain. Sustainability efforts are also aimed at enhancing fairness and positive benefits for suppliers, workers, customers, end-users and any other stakeholders.
Sustainability presents companies with an opportunity to forge new commercial relationships and build stronger core competencies. In addition, sustainable procurement practices can maximize business security "by ensuring that supply chains are robust and shock-proofed against sudden changes in price, availability, and quality". An impetus for pursuing sustainability is thus anchored in the ability of supply chains to secure long-term business survival, resilience, and competitiveness.
Sustainable Supply Chain Management training course equips you with the tools to develop climate-positive supply chain practices that are more resilient and efficient, to align with the transition to a low carbon global economy. You’ll walk away with an understanding of how resource scarcity and rising inequality are making supply chains increasingly vulnerable, prompting immediate action from stakeholders.
