Course details
Sustainable Supply Chain
OPER 60503A
This course examines the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainability in supply chains. The course has four components: (i) investments in environmental technologies, (ii) energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, (iii) the circular economy, and (iv) corporate social responsibility in supply chains.
Sustainability issues in supply chains present challenges for many organizations around the world. They can also generate opportunities. The course will first focus on the financial and operational evaluation of environmental technologies in supply chains. This will be followed by a few sessions on energy efficiency and GHG emissions management in supply chains. The third part of the course, on circularity, will examine concepts such as eco-design, reverse logistics, and waste management. Finally, the course will conclude with challenges related to the social aspects of sustainability, including human rights, health and safety, and fair wages in supply chains.
