Program Professional Framework

Sustainable Supply Chain Strategy and Social Responsibility

Program Overview

Investors, regulators and customers now expect organizations to account for emissions, labour conditions and environmental impact well beyond their own operations. This program shows how to build a supply chain sustainability strategy: measuring Scope 3 emissions with the GHG Protocol, applying ISO 20400 sustainable procurement guidance and ISO 26000 social responsibility principles, conducting supplier due diligence on labour and human rights risks, and designing circular and low-carbon logistics. It connects these choices to ESG reporting and to Gulf commitments on net zero and local content, showing how sustainability can reduce cost and risk rather than simply add compliance work.

Learning Outcomes

✓Estimate a supply chain Scope 3 emissions baseline for key purchase categories using GHG Protocol methods.
✓Develop a supplier code of conduct and due diligence process covering labour, health and safety and environmental standards.
✓Integrate sustainability criteria into sourcing decisions in line with ISO 20400 guidance.
✓Identify circular economy and low-carbon logistics opportunities and estimate their cost and emissions impact.
✓Prepare a sustainable supply chain roadmap with targets, KPIs and ESG reporting requirements.

Supply chain and procurement directors
Sustainability and ESG managers working with suppliers
