Korshub's take

Sustainable supply chains aren't an ethical add-on—they're how you reduce risk and cost while staying competitive. This intermediate course, one of three on the CSSCP certification path, connects sourcing and procurement to the sustainability outcomes that matter.

You'll explore sustainable sourcing as the entry point, then trace how purchasing decisions ripple through manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. A major focus is inventory innovation—moving from linear take-make-dispose to circular models where waste becomes input. Real supply chain professionals from automotive, electronics, and other sectors have completed this track and gone on to ISCEA certification and senior roles.

About this course

SCCP02 is designed to further your understanding of advanced Supply Chain concepts and practices. As a current or future professional in either the Supply Chain or Sustainability sector, the course will build upon your background on both Sustainability and Supply Chain. However, this course will dive into both business and material planning that is required to foster a Sustainable Supply Chain. The course demonstrates the importance of Sustainable Sourcing as a precursor to core Supply Chain processes such as Manufacturing, Warehousing, and Distribution. The course includes detailed education and examples of the role of inventory in Sustainable Supply Chains and innovations that can be implemented to transform traditional linear Supply Chain models to Circular Supply Chain where possible.

This course is one of the three ISCEA Sustainability Supply Chain courses offered on edX to prepare the learners for the Globally Recognized, ISCEA Certified Sustainable Supply Chain Professional (CSSCP) Designation. To pursue the Official ISCEA CSSCP Certification, ISCEA requires the successful completion of the Official CSSCP Exam.
