To get you started on this assignment, take a few minutes and watch this video on how one company sources sustainably and ethically.
Sustainable Sourcing | Tata Consumer Products (YouTube, 6:37) https://youtu.be/PrFCdRfgXls
As you learned from the video, sustainable sourcing can be a strategic advantage for a firm. However, from time to time, firms have run afoul of these ideas and have gained bad publicity for not meeting social and environmental objectives.
For this discussion, research some of these issues. First, provide an overview of ethical and sustainable sourcing and why it is important. Then, research a firm that has run afoul of ethical or sustainable procurement and provide a detailed account of the issues and impact that this had on the firm.
