Sustainable Supply Chain Transformation looks at the processes, issues and solutions of imbedding and managing environmental and social changes and disruptions into supply chains.

This textbook is aimed at postgraduate students and anyone studying sustainable operations and risk within supply chain management. It illustrates how companies are facing internal and external pressures to transform their supply chain to become more sustainable, and how that can come with many challenges. Sustainable Supply Chain Transformation covers:

- Environmental and social factors
- Building and developing sustainable supply chains
- Embedding sustainable operations

- Managing disruptions and supply chain leadership
- Risks and opportunities during transformation
- Metrics and KPIs for evaluating success

Students will understand the challenges that can arise when building a sustainable, ethical and resilient supply chain, and how recalibrating strategies can lead to a more sustainable supply chain. Real-world examples from P&G, Unilever, Mars, Starbucks and McDonald's are included throughout.

In-text resources include a glossary, learning outcomes, exercise questions and activities. Online resources include PowerPoint slides for lecturers, a simulation package and a lecturers' manual with additional assignments.
