Webinar-Responsible Supply Chains in Polycrisis: Resilience, Rights, and the Role of Business Schools

The world is navigating an era of compounding disruptions — geopolitical fragmentation, climate volatility, post-pandemic reshoring pressures, and mounting human rights obligations. Supply chains sit at the epicentre of this polycrisis, exposing fundamental tensions between efficiency, resilience, and rights. Yet most business schools remain ill-equipped to help students navigate these tensions in an integrated way.

Objectives

This webinar aims to:

• Establish a shared understanding of polycrisis as a strategic supply chain challenge for educators.
• Explore how human rights due diligence can be meaningfully integrated into supply chain curricula.
• Surface innovative pedagogical approaches — simulations, case studies, field projects — from PRME member schools.
• Identify gaps in current teaching materials and catalyse collaborative content development.
• Build community among faculty and researchers committed to advancing responsible supply chain education.

Key Themes

• Resilience vs. responsibility: Can supply chains be both lean and ethical?
• Regulatory literacy: Embedding CS3D, LkSG, and UFLPA into core curriculum
• Deep supply chain visibility: Teaching beyond Tier 1 thinking
• Decolonising the supply chain classroom: Global South perspectives
• From audit to partnership: Reimagining supplier relationships
