About CRSCM

Our approach

At the Center for Responsible Supply Chain Management, our approach begins with the understanding that meaningful change in supply chain practices requires both academic rigor and practical relevance. We focus on generating research that can be applied in real-world contexts, delivering learning opportunities that reflect emerging industry needs, and fostering collaborations that lead to shared insight and innovation.

By aligning our work with the evolving priorities of businesses and communities, we aim to strengthen the link between research and practice, while supporting supply chains that are more adaptive, resilient, and sustainable over time.

As we think about the future of work in supply chains, it's critical to consider how all this impacts the environment and the health of our communities. We have a real chance right now at ASU to help shape supply chain decisions that will make a difference for decades to come.
