Overview
Supply chains represent a critical competitive advantage for businesses, yet traditional practices often undermine both profitability and environmental sustainability. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fundamentally addresses this by assigning producers accountability for the full product lifecycle, from design to post-consumer management.
Co-developed by Strathmore Business School and GFS East Africa, this programme directly responds to Kenya’s escalating waste management challenges while equipping professionals with practical frameworks to integrate EPR principles into operations. Participants emerge capable of transforming potential regulatory burdens into opportunities for enhanced efficiency, reduced costs, and stronger market positioning in an increasingly sustainability-driven landscape.
