Supply Chain Sustainability, Risk and Resilience Management
\nSupply chain sustainability refers to the practices and processes involved in managing the environmental, social, and economic impacts of a company’s supply chain. This includes considering the environmental footprint of the materials and products being sourced, the labor practices and working conditions of suppliers, and the overall economic impact of the supply chain on local communities.<\/p>\n
Risk management in the supply chain refers to the processes and practices a company uses to identify and mitigate potential risks to the supply chain. These risks can include financial risks, such as supplier bankruptcy or price fluctuations, as well as operational risks, such as natural disasters or transportation disruptions.<\/p>\n
Resilience in the supply chain refers to the ability of a supply chain to recover from disruptions or shocks, such as natural disasters or pandemics. This includes having contingency plans in place and developing diversified sourcing strategies to reduce reliance on a single supplier or geographic region.<\/p>\n
Effective supply chain sustainability, risk and resilience management can help a company minimize negative impacts on the environment and local communities, and protect against potential disruptions to its operations. This can help a company maintain its reputation and long-term sustainability, as well as minimize financial losses.<\/p>\n
There are a number of tools and approaches that can be used to manage supply chain sustainability, risk and resilience, including supply chain mapping, life cycle assessment, sustainability reporting, and sustainability certification programs. By implementing these tools and approaches, a company can better understand and address the impacts of its supply chain, and work towards a more sustainable and resilient future.

\nAssessment
\nThe overall assessment of the module has two components \u2013 Component 1 and Component 2.
\nComponent 1 – Group poster presentation (20%)
\nInstructions on Assessment
\nEach Group of students is to produce and present a poster based on a brand, industry sector, company
\nor product of choice. Based on a desktop literature search, students should source and cite information
\npertinent to their chosen brand, industry sector, company or product and identify relevant challenges
\nand\/or opportunities that may exist for managing sustainability and\/or risk resilience in an international
\nsupply chain context. For instance, how would a sustainable supply chain management approach
\nimprove\/enhance responsible business management in supply chains? What are the critical issues of
\nconcern? Why?
\nGroup Allocation
\nAt the outset of the course, groups of 4 to 6 students will be formed. These groups will work together
\non seminar tasks related to Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Risk-Resilience with a view to
\nproducing work for the first component of the module\u2019s assessment, a Group Poster Presentation.
\nGroup Poster Presentation
\n\u2022 For the presentation, each group of students should be able to critically discuss an appropriate,
\nrelevant issue related to sustainable supply chain management and\/or supply chain risk-resilience.

\nRisk-Resilience Management and\/or a Sustainable Supply Chain Management approach?
\no What benefits can be achieved in adopting a supply chain risk-resilience management
\napproach in contemporary business?
\no Choose a relevant contemporary theme relevant to the topic of choice (e.g. waste,
\nclimate change policy, emissions, environmental regulation, social justice, ethics,
\nglobalised versus localised chains etc.).
\no Consider how a purely focused \u2018Business as Usual\u2019 (BAU) approach would compare
\nagainst a \u2018Triple Bottom Line\u2019 (TBL) approach in the context of sustainable supply
\nchain\/supply chain risk-resilience management.

\nAssignment Brief in Detail \u2013 Component 2 (80%)
\nYou are an International Sustainable Supply Chain Risk Management Professional, and you are
\ntasked with providing a critically evidenced report with 2 parts, addressing 2 separate tasks. This
\nreport should present through a critical analysis, a set of generated recommendations for
\norganizational practice and policy formation (with a view to generate \u2018transformational\u2019
\nimprovements for social, environmental, and economic sustainability and risk-resilience in a Global
\nSupply Chain context).
\nPart 1 (Task 1) should focus on Supply Chain Risk and Resilience Management. Part 2 (Task 2) will
\nfocus on Sustainable Supply Chain Management.
\nTo address each Task, you will need to choose an appropriate sector to set your report against. This
\ncan be public, private and\/or third sector area\/organisation\/agency(ies). You MUST show the
\nrelevance\/rationale of your choice of sector\/area\/organisation\/agency(ies).
\nYou must also choose to focus on a contemporary supply chain issue in the context of your chosen
\nsector and demonstrate the rationale for your choice by outlining its relevance supported with
\nresearch-informed evidence for your report.
\n\u2022 Examples of sectors include but are not limited to: Agri-Food and Farming, Alternative Food
\nGrowers and Producers, Food Manufacturing, Food Retail, Pharmaceuticals, Energy, Education,
\nFinance, Artificial Intelligence, Military, Humanitarian Agencies, Public Health, Fast-Fashion,
\nLogistics, etc.
\n\u2022 Examples of contemporary issues include, Covid-19, Climate Change, Supply Chain Ethics,
\nDisaster, Risk and Hazard Management, Reshoring, Modern Day Slavery.
\n\u2022 Examples of some tools\/approaches to manage sustainability, risk and resilience include but are
\nnot limited to: Carbon Footprinting, Strategic Environmental Assessment, Vested Sourcing, Life
\nAssessment Brief \u2013 Level 7 Postgraduate
\nPage 4 of 14
\nCycle Assessment, Remanufacturing, Closed Loop Supply Chain, etc. Your report should extend to
\na discussion of the potential benefits\/disadvantages of managing sustainability and risk-resilience
\nin a supply chain context detailing any relevant examples and\/or issues pertinent to the sector and
\nissue(s) of choice.
\nPlease remember to cite from appropriate academic scholarly sources and critically discuss your
\nchosen tool(s)\/approach(es) and their strategic relevance in terms of benefits as well as limitations.
\nTo summarise:
\nThe assignment will need to focus on two separate Tasks divided into 2 parts. These include:
\n1. Task 1: Supply Chain Risk and Resilience Management: 1500 words on
\nsector and contemporary issue of choice
\n2. Task 2: Sustainable Supply Chain Management: 1500 words on sector and contemporary
\nissue of choice
\nThe report must also include a 500 word Executive Summary (included in the total word count) which
\nshould be located after the title page of the report.
\n1. A comprehensive reference list is required.
\n2. You should synthesise company data, governmental and non-governmental reports with
\nacademic literature and other contemporary sources.
\n3. This assignment is an individual academic report, which needs to be prepared by each
\nindividual student and be submitted before 12:00 pm on the deadline date.
\nMore guidance and information on the Written Assignment Report
\nThe drivers of economic, environmental, and social (EES) aspects commonly referred to as \u2018the triple
\nbottom line\u2019 (TBL) define the parameters of sustainable supply chains. They are classically recognised
\nas being influenced and driven by the following factors: legislation, finance, environmental impacts,
\nand internal \/ external business processes and, relationships along the length of the supply chain
\nnetwork. It is essential for supply chain organisations to consider the impacts of their chains,
\nextending beyond supplier bases and customers at the point of consumption, to recognise the
\nimportance of product life cycle and end of life management \/ recovery.
\nThese factors can be further categorised in terms of:
\n\u2022 Sector\/Organisation competencies\/characterisation of the structure of supply chains in a
\nparticular sector and what strategic supply chain risk & resilience management can bring to
\nmake chains leaner, agile, more cohesive, risk-resilient, and robust.
\n\u2022 Opportunities for innovation, development of products, improvement of organisational
\nstructures, corporate strategies and supply chain structures \/ common measures adopted
\nand\/or suggested to enhance future optimisation and realise sustainability targets in advance
\nof possible mandatory legislation or \u2018future proofing\u2019.
\nAssessment Brief \u2013 Level 7 Postgraduate
\nPage 5 of 14
\n\u2022 Governance in relation to the role of legislature compliance and the measurement tools,
\ntechniques, and approaches \/ management \/ reduction \/ reporting of operational impacts
\n(for example, LCA) upon the environment and associated stakeholders in shaping supply
\nchain governance approaches. How this contributes to the strategic understanding and
\nsetting of sustainability and risk resilience management initiatives\/targets.
\n\u2022 The report for this assignment should take the above into account and consider this module\u2019s
\nlecture series. It may consider the more efficient use of existing systems within organisations
\nas well as the broader themes of collaboration, innovation, and engagement in the context of
\nsupply chain management, risk resilience and sustainability. Discussion may also include
\nmatters related to contemporary risk and sustainability measures, how such measures can
\nimprove risk resilience and enhance sustainability in relation to turnover, operational
\nefficiencies, environmental impact, and stakeholder relationships.
\n10% of the marks are assigned to the Executive Summary (Max 500 words). This is about an overall
\nunderstanding about the two Tasks. The integration of these two Tasks in the summary is important.
\nYou are required to have a very good understanding of both tasks to link them together in your
\nsummary.
\nPlease, make sure you provide the 2 parts (Task 1 & Task 2) separately under a specific heading and
\nexplain the issues by using underpinning academic theories and examples for each of these parts. The
\nExecutive Summary will be a summary of your understanding covering both Tasks 1 & 2. You are
\nexpected to use all relevant material from lectures, seminars and use an appropriate number of
\nacademic resources including textbooks from the recommended reading list and peer reviewed
\nacademic journal papers from NORA and other data bases such as \u201cEmerald\u201d.
\nIn addressing and critically analysing the case, you will need to consider Sustainable Supply Chain and
\nRisk-Resilience Management tools, standards, and approaches such as (but not limited to):
\n\u2022 Carbon Footprinting
\n\u2022 Life Cycle Analysis
\n\u2022 Disaster, Risk, Resilience & Hazard Management
\n\u2022 Capacity and demand management

\n\u2022 Performance measurement
\n\u2022 Location decision making and management
\n\u2022 Strategic Environmental Assessment
\n\u2022 Ecosystem Services
\n\u2022 Environmental Impact Assessment
\nYour assignment will be 3500 words-long report (plus or minus 10%). The word count per section is
\nas follows:
\n\u2022 Executive Summary 500 words
\n\u2022 Remainder of report 3,000 words
