The Sustainable Supply Chain Management implemented at our University incorporates environmental dimensions alongside economic and social aspects. While the economic dimension of sustainability prioritizes benefits such as cost minimization, improved product quality and delivery times, reduced labor turnover, and profit within supply chains, the environmental dimension considers reducing environmental costs, finding innovative solutions to waste issues, and minimizing waste—including hazardous chemicals, emissions, energy, and solid waste—throughout the supply chain.
Our University’s Sustainable Supply Chain Policy is shaped within the framework of the following principles:
PRINCIPLES
Ensuring Resource Efficiency: Promoting the more efficient use of resources through sustainability efforts, reducing waste, emphasizing elements such as energy efficiency, and thereby lowering costs.
