Training Overview

Training Overview

Green and Sustainable Logistics has become a crucial priority for 21st-century supply chains. The global climate change agenda presents significant challenges—and opportunities—for logistics and supply chain professionals. Recent developments have underscored the urgent need to ensure that operations remain sustainable, climate-neutral, and value-driven.

The United Nations continues to emphasize the urgency of climate change through its global conferences, leading to new regulations that will impact supply chains worldwide. Additionally, shifting consumer preferences now favor environmentally responsible practices, making green supply chains a competitive advantage. Adapting to these evolving conditions requires modern, innovative approaches.

One such approach is the circular supply chain model, which focuses on minimizing environmental impact by designing goods for reuse, refurbishment, or recycling. Managing the flow of materials into and out of facilities with sustainability in mind is a hallmark of world-class supply chain management.

This Green and Sustainable Logistics training course addresses these critical challenges and offers strategies for continuous improvement in logistics practices. With climate change presenting a major global crisis, there is no better time to rethink and reinforce supply chains against its disruptive effects.
