Overview

This module’s learning objective is to use examples from Patagonia and Chiquita to demonstrate key concepts, principles, and best practices related to sustainability issues in global supply chains. These two company contexts help us appreciate the complexities of developing and implementing sustainability strategies in global settings. This module also enables us to delve deeper into frameworks such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mechanisms, which have helped firms channel their sustainability efforts. Using the Chiquita case, we take up one example of ESG - ethics.
