Descriptif

This course links into current trends in sustainable purchasing like the comliance with national and international due dilligence laws such as the "loi sur le devoir de vigilance" in France. For supporting the students in working on these trends, the course will introduce the students to the specific challenges of integrating sustainability into purchasing as well as the available tools and concepts to address these challenges. The students will engage with the multi-dimensional aims of sustainable purchasing, social as well as environmental challenges in purchasing as well as the main tools for sustainability management in purchasing including the design of a dedicated balanced scorecard. To enable an engaging learning path, the course combines theory-focused lectures with a group project covering the entire semester and linking to all lectures. As a result, the students will handle each topic first in theoretical terms based on theory-focused and generalized inputs as well as discussions by the professor before relating the topic to their own more specific and practice-oriented group projects. During the semester several small work packages will be prepared and submitted by the student groups and the group project will have to be presented in the final sessions.
