Introduction
Sustainability is not a trend, but a strategic necessity. Climate change, new legislation, and societal expectations are forcing organizations to rethink their supply chains. This requires insight, decisiveness, and collaboration – across the entire chain.
In the Sustainable Supply Chain Management Master Module, you will delve into the three dimensions of sustainability: People, Planet, and Prosperity. You will work with current frameworks such as ESG, CSRD, and the Triple Bottom Line, and learn how to concretely integrate sustainability into supply chain decisions. The module covers strategic insight, circular strategies, and change management.
You will apply concepts and models directly to realistic cases and your own professional practice. Through the simulation The Triple Connection, you will experience the dilemmas of sustainable supply chain decisions and their effects on People, Planet, and Prosperity. In this way, you will not only develop knowledge but also the ability to guide sustainable change within your organization and supply chain.

You want not only to understand what sustainability demands of supply chains, but also to learn how to organize change across departments and supply chain partners. You’re looking for tools to support sustainable choices, engage stakeholders, and make an impact from your role.

What you organize in your supply chain today will determine your license to operate tomorrow.
You will work with the three dimensions of sustainability – People, Planet, and Prosperity – as a guiding principle.
