Summary:

In 2010, DHL, a leading international express courier based in Germany, and the National University of Singapore (NUS) established the Sustainable Supply Chain Centre of Asia Pacific in Singapore to develop and promote thoughtful leadership around sustainable supply chains in Asia. The concept of sustainability includes three pillars that must be in balance with each other: social, environmental, and economic aspects. Consequently, this case examines the competitive industry motivations and civil society pressures behind DHL's decision to engage in this partnership, as well as motivations for NUS' involvement. Overall, readers are encouraged to explore how this collaboration will benefit both parties as globalization affects not only industry, but also higher education.
