Course overview
Social responsibility is an important part of supply-chain management. Businesses need to be aware of how their operations impact communities, individuals, and the environment. Consumers and customers are also aware of this, with many choosing to only buy from businesses that have an ethical supply chain.
That’s why it’s so important that the supply chain of your organization meets socially aware standards. If it doesn’t, the company runs the risk of not only losing customers but also damaging communities and the environment. Your employees have to consider where the supply chain is based, where the materials come from, and how supply-chain processes impact the world. And they need to take a strategic approach to creating and maintaining an ethical supply chain.
