Designed to enrich your understanding of ethical supply chain management, this microcredential presents a transformative opportunity for logistics and supply chain decision-makers to navigate the intricacies of ethical decision-making.

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.

Key benefits of this microcredential

This microcredential has been designed to equip you with:

  • An understanding of best practices for ethical supply chain management, including identifying modern slavery within supply chains
  • The skills to identify opportunities to implement ethical and safe practices across driver and other logistical roles
  • Knowledge of the impacts of ethical and sustainable practices in supply chain, including fair pay, safety and working hours.

This microcredential aligns with the 3-credit point subject, Supply Chain Ethics for Decision Makers (21899) in the Business Masters’ Coursework. This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
