Abstract
GBA Logistics (hereafter GBA) is a provider of international logistics, headquartered in the Northwest of England. During recent years, it has increased in size, both in terms of number of employees and annual revenue. GBA is also meeting the criteria for several elements of existing and emerging legislation whereby companies must report on matters relating to environmental social governance (ESG), such as greenhouse emissions and energy usage. Customer pressure is also prevalent in this area, with corporations and companies operating in different geographic regions subject to different ESG legislative requirements, which can be passed to suppliers. GBA must balance its own ESG legislative obligations with those of its customers and develop a strategy whereby maximum company and customer value is derived. Students will be asked to examine the influence of political and societal factors on logistics organizations in fulfilling ESG requirements as well as achieving the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs), assess the roles within the organization for ESG and SDG alignment, describe the impact of ESG on customer values, and identify responsible and sustainable practices.
