Welcome to the home of free sustainability education for the Supply Chain/Logistics Professional since 2010.

 “Your company has decided to go green, your customers are asking you about the carbon footprint of a particular shipment, you are a logistic professional out of work and are looking for  the next big opportunity” – these are just a few examples of how this website can become a very helpful tool to educate yourself for the present and future world of Supply Chain Management.

Please visit our archived news section where over 90 stories concerning real life examples are waiting for you.

Definition of Sustainability:

"Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs."
Brundtland-1987

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative

At carpe diehm sustainable supply chain we endorse the special cause of making food supply chains in the developing world more efficient to avoid post harvest losses. 

Our aim is to promote this cause within international logistics companies who can bring valuable resources to the table and who will establish CSR initiatives to help.
