This course introduces principles and practices that facilitate responsible and sustainable supply chain strategies and operations. To achieve a sustainable supply chain, a company has to address environmental, social, economic and legal concerns across its entire supply chain. A fully sustainable supply chain is one that ensures socially responsible business practices. These practices are not only good for the planet and people who live here, but they also support business growth.

Indicative content includes but is not limited to a brief overview of corporate strategy and SCM; concepts of sustainability in general and pertaining to SCM; sustainable and responsible procurement, circular economy and closed-loop supply chains; cleaner production and transportation; supply chain sustainability risks and resilience; social issues in the supply chain.

The course has a pre-assignment that is published in Moodle. The first lecture is mandatory
