Description
When you buy a phone, sneakers, or coffee, there's a supply chain behind it-filled with people, policies, and environmental impact. And today, "not knowing" what happens upstream is no longer a valid excuse.
Consider these realities
• Over 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery-and most cases occur in private-sector supply chains.
• Around 138 million children are still in child labor globally, including in sectors tied to imported goods.
• For many companies, more than 90% of emissions and broader environmental impact sit in the supply chain (Scope 3).
• ESG is now a supplier-selection filter: 81% of organizations say ESG is important or very important when choosing suppliers.
Consumers, investors, and regulators are raising the bar fast-through laws like the UK Modern Slavery Act, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and new traceability expectations like Digital Product Passports.
This course is built to help you respond with real systems-not vague promises. You'll learn practical, modern approaches to ethical sourcing, labor rights protection, environmental sustainability, transparency/traceability, governance, and credible reporting.
In this course, you'll learn how to
• Define what an ethical supply chain is (social, human rights, and environmental pillars)
• Select and evaluate suppliers using clear ESG criteria, audits, and supplier scorecards
• Build and enforce Supplier Codes of Conduct, anti-corruption safeguards, and fair procurement processes
• Identify labor-rights risks (forced labor, child labor, wage theft) and design remediation that is victim-centered
• Reduce supply chain environmental impact through sustainable sourcing, packaging, logistics, and circular models
• Improve transparency and traceability using supplier mapping, audit programs, and tools like RFID/blockchain
• Set up governance and compliance: risk-based due diligence, board oversight, contracts, training, and hotlines
• Report progress credibly using frameworks like GRI, CDP, SASB/ISSB, and the GHG Protocol-without greenwashing
You'll also explore a real-world case study of Tony's Chocolonely and how their traceability, living-income approach, and remediation systems challenge industry norms.
By the end, you'll have a practical roadmap to design, assess, and improve ethical supply chains-so your organization can reduce risk, build trust, and create measurable impact across your value chain.
