Overview

Sustainability is pivotal in the supply chain as it encompasses ethical, social, and environmental considerations, influencing every stage of the product lifecycle.

Integrating sustainable practices in the supply chain not only meets growing consumer expectations for responsible business conduct but also mitigates environmental impact, reduces operational risks, and enhances long-term viability. Sustainable supply chain management involves responsible sourcing, eco-friendly manufacturing processes, efficient logistics, and end-of-life considerations, contributing to corporate social responsibility and fostering resilience against global challenges.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the 3-day module, participants will be able to:

  • • Understand the importance of sustainability in the supply chain
  • • Describe the key pillars of corporate social responsibility
  • • Explore how digital technologies can support the implementation of circular economy principles
  • • Examine tools and methodologies for tracking and reporting the carbon footprint of supply chain activities

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by Singapore Management University.
