Yes, Manufacturing usually has manager for Environmental Health and Safety. Sustainability degree is acceptable there.

Yes, sustainable is the new way of business in Supply chain

Of course, the logistics sector, this sector in many cases lacks ideas, a person trained in sustainability can bring fresh and innovative ideas.

I think it would not fit anywhere, they are two different worlds, the supply chain is mainly based on sales, I do not see where sustainability can help

Positively, there is a great deal of overlap between supply chain management and sustainability. In fact, many organizations are now realizing the importance of integrating sustainability into their supply chains in order to become more efficient and environmentally responsible.

A degree in sustainability can prepare you well for a career in supply chain management, where you can help organizations implement sustainable practices and strategies. Are there any particular positions or companies that you're checking out?

Maybe, but I would also tell you to consider getting a degree or certification more related to the industry. The field is too technical and requires an understanding of complex financial and logistical concepts. Sustainability is a valuable skill to have, but it is not necessary for success in supply chain management.
