 What is a sustainable supply chain? Why should companies and supply chains care about sustainability? Understanding and managing supply chains have become more relevant than ever. The entire economy depends on it – healthcare, jobs, products and services. The growth of e-commerce and the intensity of global operations have made possible to access to products and services as quickly as same day delivered. But in hand with this business growth, a big challenge has become even more relevant – sustainability. Business and supply chain operations are responsible not just for the economic growth, but for the vast majority of carbon emissions, as well as corporate social justice. While many industries have pledged strong commitments to reduce their carbon emissions, they typically struggle to not only select the right methods to estimate their carbon emissions, but most importantly, to translate them into actionable strategies. What are the implications for society and the planet? How can companies achieve their sustainability goals while meeting their business targets? Hello everyone, my name is Josue Velázquez. I'm a research scientist at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics and I am the director of the MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab. Sustainable Supply Chain Management is the online version of the SCM290 Graduate Course that I teach at MIT, which is designed to provide executives, practitioners and academics with the foundation on how to build sustainable supply chains. We cover a variety of topics, such as how to identify the environmental hotspots in the supply chain, what is the impact of logistic sustainability and its effect in the supply chain, how to balance logistic performance with sustainability targets, what is the impact of transparency and its effect on social performance in supply chains, and how to involve consumers into sustainable supply chain strategies. This course combines a variety of experiential learning techniques such as case studies, real applications with world-class companies, and practical simulators that are designed to improve the learning experience. We have put together a syllabus that includes lectures delivered by colleagues at MIT, as well as lead practitioners in the field of logistics and supply chain management. This course is the result of hundreds of hours of applied research conducted at the MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab. We really hope you find the content interesting and useful and we look forward to having you in our virtual class.
