About this course

The word Sustainability should be rather easy to define and elaborate. However, we find most coverage of that word incomplete. Either it is taken to mean environmentally responsible or socially responsible or some aggregate of the two. However, in our view a Sustainable Supply Chain has to be able to sustain the business and vice-versa over a long term. In order to do that, it must be able to provide sustainability at several levels – global level, community level, supply chain level, and corporate level.
