The current economic climate highlights the importance of sustainability in supply chains to ensure business continuity and resilience; at the same time, there is an increase in sustainability-related legislative developments and a growing demand by customers for more sustainable goods and services. Companies, therefore, look to re-evaluate their approach, policies, processes, and strategies on sustainability.

The Harvard case study that has been chosen for this year’s session’s debate, development, and presentation to the Board of Directors, focuses precisely on the importance of analyzing the aspects of sustainability in the company’s supply chain (analyzed in terms of ERM).
