This project seeks to expand and enhance students' understanding of sustainable approaches to supply chain management by developing an undergraduate elective course for students both in and outside of the business school which addresses the significant role that supply chain management plays in companies' ESG initiatives.
Research Methodology
Students in this course will engage with real-world case studies, hear from guest speakers, and participate in tours and simulations in order to better develop the tools and knowledge required for sustainable decision-making in the supply chain.
Research Outcomes
Students enrolled in this course will explore a variety of practical and effective sustainability opportunities which firms can pursue when making decisions about enhancing the sustainability of their operations and supply chain. This will provide students with applicable knowledge and skillsets for improving supply chain sustainability which can then be used in future career paths.
Research Goals
This course seeks to better equip future supply chain managers with the skills that they will need in order to constructively join, propose, and lead sustainability-focused initiatives within their field of expertise. Students will develop a greater understanding of the important role that the supply chain plays in ESG initiatives, as well as learn to develop supply chain strategies that align with and contribute to a company's ESG goals.
