Certified Sustainable Supply Chain Professional (CSSCP)

The CSSCP Course is a comprehensive supply chain education course that integrates sustainability throughout all chapters within the course.

The topics will be supplemented with real industry examples of sustainable supply chain in practice. These may include initiatives, goals, or current programs that are being executed within diverse industries to move toward a circular supply chain.

The CSSCP program is relevant to all global industries: manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, fashion, energy, etc. The CSSCP program will educate employees and industry on ways to add sustainable practices to the existing supply chain or how to rebuild current supply chain with sustainability in mind.

The end goal of the CSSCP course is to educate all professionals on how to maximize success of supply chain in a way that protects the future of the planet while maintaining a sustainable supply chain without sacrificing efficiency. The course aims to show that sustainability and optimized supply chain are not mutually exclusive, but rather can complement each other. The CSSCP program will also support some of the UN SDGs and can be used to educate those who are interested in pledging to the SDG Ambition goals.

Perfect program for:

• All level supply chain or sustainability professionals.
• Organizations in need of a baseline integrating sustainability into their supply chain team.
• Individuals involved in sustainable supply chain improvement projects or systemsimplementation (eg. corporate responsibility, pledged UN SDG Ambition Goals).
