State of Sustainable Supply Chains - A Survey by CSCMP and MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics
 The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) are teaming up to better understand the state of supply chain sustainability through an annual, industry-wide survey and report.
We aim to survey professionals across industries, regions, and positions to build a robust picture of how sustainability is advancing in supply chains and their management. Please take a moment to be a part of this momentous effort. This survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and responses are anonymous. A "State of Sustainable Supply Chains" report covering the findings of this survey will be released by CSCMP & MIT CTL. You can opt to receive a copy of this report by providing your email address at the end of the survey. Rider University launched SCPro™ Fundamentals Principles in conjunction with their "Customer Driven Supply Chain" course as part of their Gartner Rated Supply Chain curriculum.
In conjunction with the class, 14 Rider University students signed up to complete the study program leading to certification in SCPro™ Fundamentals. At the conclusion of the course and SCPro™ study program they will take the exam for qualification.
