Modern supply chains operate under growing pressure to perform not only efficiently but also responsibly. As environmental regulations tighten, consumer expectations shift toward ethical practices, and investors demand transparency, companies are realizing that sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern—it’s a strategic imperative. Yet many organizations struggle to translate ESG ambitions into operational action, facing fragmented data, unclear standards, and limited supplier alignment.
Sustainable Supply Chain Management is a comprehensive five-day training program designed to bridge that gap. This course equips professionals with the tools, frameworks, and digital strategies needed to design and manage resilient, circular, and ethically sound supply chains. From climate-conscious logistics to real-time ESG data tracking, participants will learn to embed sustainability principles directly into sourcing, production, distribution, and supplier collaboration.
Grounded in practical case studies and industry best practices, the program empowers attendees to rethink procurement, integrate circularity, measure impact with confidence, and align supply chain goals with global sustainability benchmarks. Whether building net-zero strategies or optimizing supplier networks, participants will leave with a roadmap for long-term value creation.
Course Outline
Foundations of Sustainable Supply Chains
- Exploring supply chain functions within environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks.
- Discussing the effect of climate change, ethical sourcing, and regulatory expectations on global supply networks.
- Identifying key vulnerabilities in VUCA environments and their operational implications.
- Reviewing global standards and frameworks (e.g., ISO 14001, GRI, SBTi) that guide sustainable practices.
- Methods to integrate life cycle thinking and lean-green models into operational systems.
- Exercise: Analyze a real-world case study (e.g., IKEA or Unilever) to identify sustainability challenges and evaluate how they were addressed through supply chain design and governance.
