Sustainable Supply Chain

Supply chain management can be the catalyst for solutions to corporate environmental and social challenges. A company's suppliers often have expertise or technologies that, when combined with those of the company, can reduce environmental impacts. First-tier suppliers can also, with the support of their clients, enable better monitoring of social aspects such as employee welfare and respect for human rights upstream in the chain (for higher-tier suppliers). Thus, the course will focus on operational and supply chain management issues related to sustainable development.
