Sustainability, Circularity & Green Supply Chains is a structured track of 13 lessons that build a complete, interview-ready understanding of the topic. Work through them in order, then use the quiz and flashcards in each lesson to revise.
What this course covers
- Why Sustainability Became an Operations Priority - What made this a line responsibility rather than a reporting exercise.
- Carbon in the Supply Chain: Scopes and Where Emissions Sit - The three scopes, and why most emissions sit outside your own operations.

- Decarbonisation Levers Across Sourcing, Making & Moving - Every abatement lever, ranked by cost per tonne and feasibility.
- Green Logistics: Modal Shift, Electrification & Load Efficiency - Cutting transport emissions, and the cost or service consequence of each.
- Sustainable Sourcing and Supplier Decarbonisation - Getting suppliers to measure and reduce, and the leverage that works.
- Energy, Water & Waste Efficiency in Plants - Site-level efficiency projects with genuine payback, and how to prioritise.
- Circular Economy: Reuse, Refurbishment & Recycling Loops - Designing loops that are operationally and commercially viable.
- Extended Producer Responsibility and Packaging Rules in India - The obligations on producers for packaging and waste, and the operations impact.
- Reverse Logistics as a Circularity Enabler - Building return flows that recover value rather than just cost money.
- Sustainability Reporting and Disclosure for Operations Data - What operations must now measure and evidence for disclosure.
- Using AI in Emissions Tracking and Route Efficiency - Where AI helps with emissions data and efficiency, and what needs checking.
