(Re-)Designing elements of the production and consumption sectoral (supply) chains, network and institutional context is the central focus in this module. Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) refers to 'the management of material, information and capital flows as well as cooperation among organizations along the supply chains to provide products and services in societal sectors while taking goals from all three dimensions of sustainable development, that is, economic, environmental and social, into account which are derived from government, customer and stakeholder requirements. In simple words it is about how we affect the planet with the way mankind consumes and produces products and services, how it impacts the planet and its population and how we can reach out for improvements (innovations transitions).
