Established in March 2025, the Center for Sustainable Supply Chains (CS2C), affiliated with the Institute of Business Research at Hanyang University, is a research hub dedicated to bridging scholarship and practice so that sustainability
and firm performance can be integrated and realized within supply chains.
Today, corporate sustainability efforts must move beyond the domain of responsibility and contribute to creating a competitive advantage. Such a competitive advantage, however, is difficult to achieve without integration across the
supply chain. This is because supply chains are not only the critical arena in which firms’ competitiveness and operational performance are shaped, but also an essential mechanism and platform through which sustainability is implemented, diffused, and scaled in practice.
Building on this recognition, CS2C provides scholarly insight and practical solutions that enable firms to achieve sustainability and performance simultaneously across their supply chains. To this end, the Center seeks to support the
design and operation of sustainable supply chains through three core pillars: research, implementation, and collaboration.
