What is the Designing Ethical and Resilient Supply course about?

Even with best intentions, supply chains face constant pressure from cost demands, compliance gaps, and greenwashing risks. Many frameworks feel theoretical or too rigid to adapt locally. The result? Values get compromised, teams lose confidence, and progress stalls despite clear intent. Without a structured way to align ethics with execution, even experienced professionals find themselves reacting instead of leading.
