George Weston Ltd. Centre for Sustainable Supply Chains
Resilient, sustainable supply chains have never been more vital than they are now.
The goal of the George Weston Ltd. Centre is to help organizations design resilient supply chains that balance the long-term needs of people, planet, and profit. The Centre brings together diverse stakeholders to explore major challenges such as climate change, digital transformation, supply disruptions, and the need for greater social inclusion.
We share supply chain best practices with the many vital sectors that drive our modern economy while supporting the development of the next generation of responsible industry leaders.

“Every organization should ask: do we have the capabilities and talent to lead positive change across our supply chain for our customers, suppliers, and broader stakeholders, including society and the environment? The GWL Centre is here to help with the answers.”

ResearchLearn more
Our research focuses on revealing the best thinking and most credible evidence on how to accelerate changes in making supply chains resilient and sustainable. We produce and support publicly accessible empirical research driven by theory and practice at the intersection of traditional supply chain management and sustainable supply chains and disseminate research from academia to industry. This is done in collaboration with individual academics, industry partners, government, and NGOs.

“Supply chains are the heart of Canada’s economy and provide the food, medication, and other items Canadians need by connecting communities from coast to coast to coast. We are delighted to partner with the Schulich School of Business to deepen our country’s expertise and develop sustainable supply chains that will contribute to a stronger, more resilient Canada.”
