Description
This course is designed for the catalogue of "Lifelong Learning Initiatives" of the PNRR Project of the Innovation Ecosystem "NODES – Digitable and Sustainable North West”, in particular for the subjects of Spoke 4.
Module Learning Objectives and Skill Acquisition
• In terms of Learning Objectives:
• Understand the key role played by supply chain management (SCM) and how it has evolved towards sustainable SCM, integrating CSR and sustainability concepts in line with the Triple Bottom Line perspective.
• Provide a detailed overview of the main sustainability challenges that drive decisions related to
the main supply chain processes, including a global perspective.
• Analyze in-depth the linkage between the strategic level (corporate sustainability approaches) and the operational level (supply chain processes).
• Discuss the role played by SCM to achieve a circular economy.
Skill Acquisition
• Relevant knowledge of SCM in order to identify key actors and map activities and flows in supply chain processes
• Knowledge of relevant theoretical SCM frameworks.
• Critical analysis of sustainability challenges in supply chains;
• Analysis and discussion of cases and best practices in sustainable SCM.
The course, designed in collaboration between Politecnico di Torino and Università di Trento, is designed with an inter-disciplinary approach that encourages the exchange of skills and knowledge between professors, employees of partner companies and PhD candidates and students. The course ensures not only a high-level technical training, but also a wide engagement of different actors who will foster collaboration within the Ecosystem. Participants will be able to develop transversal skills that will enhance technological transfer, innovation and research. The course will train climate change specialists in supply chain management, corporate sustainability approaches and circular economy.
The course, designed within the framework of Spoke 4, introduces the concepts of supply chain management and circular economy and provides examples of real case study scenarios. The knowledge acquired during the course will contribute to the development of innovative technology intended to adopt notions of circular economy in the mountain-forest supply chain in order to sustainably manage natural resources and maximize their value, thus reducing their overexploitation and preserving the natural habitat.
