About the Program
Sustainable Supply Chains Programme Description: The excessive exploitation of natural resources required to achieve economic growth and development has had a negative impact on the environment while also causing these resources to become scarcer and costlier. It is therefore easy to see why the idea of a circular design of products and systems that offers new ways to create more sustainable supply chain models is taking hold across the globe. This module is designed to help you understand the growing business case for sustainable supply chain solutions covering topics from environmental social governance in supply chain and supplier management, carbon accounting, green and sustainable distribution and innovative technology solutions. Participants will learn how to design, manage and lead a sustainable supply chain by incorporating circular material as well as product and system design into strategies to support sustainable growth. Different requirements of supply chain tiers and various industries such as automotive, retail, pharmaceutical and chemical supply chain are considered in this module. A three-day academic excursion to Berlin and regional company visits are part of the programme. German language courses: In addition to the academic seminars, students can attend intensive German language courses. These courses are offered at three different levels (ranging from beginner [A1] to intermediate [B1]).
