In today’s world, sustainability is a requirement for supply chains. Sustainable supply chains integrate environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability into every stage of this network. In this module, you’ll discover what sustainable supply chains are, how to recognise the key importance, key drivers and main challenges of sustainable supply chains, learn how sustainable sourcing and procurement processes work and how to measure, monitor, and report sustainability in supply chains.

Corporate Social Responsibility is indispensable for modern companies, especially for those working with supply chains, and not just because of legal compliance.

In this module, you’ll learn the concept and evolution of corporate social responsibility, recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility for modern businesses, identify key global standards and frameworks guiding corporate social responsibility practices, and discover how to monitor and report corporate social responsibility.
