Sustainability and Social Impact in the Supply Chain

(2.5 Credits)

In this course, students will learn about the latest advancements in social and environmental sustainability standards, the application of technology (blockchain), and business practices—that are being adopted by companies such as Walmart and Unilever in CPG, fashion and home brands, as well as sustainability and social impact drivers in natural resource-based sectors such as mining. Understanding the complexity of supply chains and the new sustainability demands is critical for all students regardless of industry: from finance (as investors are beginning to scrutinize these practices), management consulting, to retail and manufacturing, as well as anyone who wants to learn best practices for incorporating social impact thinking within their own career.
