Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Learn how to integrate sustainability and ESG principles into every stage of the supply chain. With most environmental and social impacts occurring among suppliers and logistics partners, managing sustainability across the value chain has become a strategic business imperative.

This course helps professionals understand key ESG issues—carbon emissions, waste reduction, human rights, fair labor, and ethical sourcing—and navigate emerging regulations such as the CSRD and CSDDD. Through real-world examples, you’ll explore strategies to build circular, resilient, and low-impact supply chains, leveraging innovative technologies—AI, blockchain, and data analytics—for greater traceability and performance improvement.

By the end, you’ll be equipped to embed sustainability into procurement and operations, meet stakeholder expectations, and drive competitive advantage through responsible supply chain management.

Enroll today and lead the transformation toward more sustainable, transparent, and future-ready value chains.
