In what way does the AEST curriculum address ethical sourcing?

The AEST curriculum addresses ethical sourcing primarily by educating students about transparency and sustainability in the supply chain. This focus encourages students to understand the complexities of sourcing practices, including the importance of knowing where products originate, how they are produced, and the impact these practices have on both the environment and society.

By emphasizing transparency, the curriculum fosters an understanding of the need for clear information about sourcing practices, which allows consumers and businesses to make informed decisions. Sustainability education further ensures that students appreciate the long-term ecological and social implications of sourcing, guiding them towards practices that support environmental health and social equity. This comprehensive approach equips future professionals with the knowledge to advocate for and implement ethical sourcing strategies effectively in their careers.
