Sustainable Supply Chains 

In order to realise the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, businesses will need to create environmentally and socially sustainable supply chains.

ICCSR has a rich heritage in the area of sustainable supply chain management, which we are continuing with the following ongoing projects:

  • Climate change strategies in corporate supply chains
  • Biodiversity, natural capital, and supply chain management
  • Human rights defenders, environmental justice and supply chain management
