Rethinking supply chains to cut carbon and sulfur oxide emissions

Building a better future by creating supply chain excellence. That's the goal of the Executive Master in Global Supply Chain Management program offered at EPFL by the International Institute for the Management of Logistics and Supply Chain. And the in-company projects performed by program participants show that their novel ideas could considerably reduce CO₂ and sulfur oxid emissions. IML, part of the Executive Education department at EPFL's College of Management of Technology , is highly regarded within the supply chain industry and has formed partnerships with Merck, GSK, Ferring, Swatch, Richemont and other companies in Switzerland, in France and around the world. "One person in middle management can make a difference through their everyday decisions" "At IML, we believe that individuals can make change happen. Not only as consumers, but also through our roles as employees of large organizations," says Elaine Moran, the executive director of IML. "By promoting effective supply chain analyses, responsible decision-making and collaborative change leadership, we in the supply chain industry can build a better future for our economy, our society and the environment.
