Hey folks, what’s everyone’s thought on sustainability as a focus for supply chain. A lot of the work I do is optimization, supply chain excellence and the like of that. I’ve done some work in carbon footprint, it what’s everyone’s take on getting a masters of sustainability and going deep in as a SME in supply chain sustainability?

Why pay for education that you can learn on the job? There is SO much free content online and non profit bodies already defining what good looks like (which your school would likely reference anyway). Spend the time outside of work if you really want to get ahead.

Yea but to be taken seriously when selling And responding to RFP having a masters solidifies expertise

My opinion is it will definitely become more of a focus - if you’re interested go for it. Maybe sound out some roles and see if your masters will help or if you can achieve the same on the job

Yeah I would continue on with my practice but to build out capability surrounding environmental supply chain, how sustainability comes into play for long term footprints of conpanies

If you already understand it you don’t need a masters. I think your best bet is to move to a sustainability practice or get alliances that keep you connected to sustainability projects.

I did my masters in clean energy covering renewables, low-carbon fuels, decarbonization in general and it didn’t really impact what I did/do today. My past B4 firm didn’t have maturity in that area so there were no projects to leverage the experience. If you move to industry, you should go directly to a role created for that focus or in a leadership position high enough to mandate it for the organization. Otherwise, people are just busy trying to keep the business running. They will say sustainability is part of their priorities but they are secondary in practice.

I’ve been looking into supply chain sustainability as well. Anyone know of certificate programs that would cover this topic?
