About this microcredential

In a world where consumer expectations, governmental regulations, and non-government organisations (NGOs) influence are reshaping business paradigms, the demand for supply chain transparency has reached unprecedented levels. 

With global initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact shaping the discourse and international legislations coming into effect, organisational supply chain ethical considerations are paramount. This microcredential will equip you with the acumen to adeptly respond to supply chain ethics challenges, ensuring success in a responsible and ethical business environment.
