Ethical Supply Chains

Have you ever stopped to wonder about where the items in your home came from? Yeah, you bought that toaster, those teabags, and that tricycle from a shop. But where did the shop get them and who made them in the first place? Now think about the business you work for. Consider how its products are made. The items that are sold on to customers could be ethically sourced, or they could be part of an unethical supply chain.

Unethical supply chains contribute to environmental damage and cruel work practices like human trafficking and forced labour. On the flipside, ethical supply chains make sure products and services are created and distributed fairly. These supply chains aim to protect the environment and ensure all workers involved are treated appropriately. This course will show you how to recognise the challenges of unethical supply chains and find ethical solutions.

This course will support anyone working with supply chains to make sure the products are ethically sourced and the work practices are fair. Developing an ethical supply chain helps the environment, protects workers, and can give the brand you work for a boost. In this course you’ll learn to recognise some common supply-chain challenges and the impact of unethical practices. You’ll also find out about solutions that can help you address these challenges.
