MSc in Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Overview

“We must realize that when basic needs have been met, human development is primarily about being more, not having more” - The Earth Charter

The MSc in Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SCM) unlocks sustainability, responsibility and ethics in operations, logistics and supply chain management. Business as usual is not sustainable. A new mindset and standards are required for sustainable transformation. Sustainability calls for ethical considerations concerning the impact of production and consumption decisions on the environment, society and future generations.

We create an environment for students, who value equity and justice over profit and growth, to learn responsible decision-making.  We bring cutting-edge research and practitioners into teaching so that our students are enabled to create a better and more sustainable future. This innovative programme creatively develops the essential competencies and technical skills our students need so that they can overcome society’s grand challenges and achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
