Enhancing Sustainable Supply Chain Practices through Digital Transformation: A Case Study of Unilever Plc

This consultancy project proposal examines how digital transformation can enhance sustainable supply chain practices at Unilever Plc. Unilever is presented as a multinational fast-moving consumer goods organisation operating across more than 190 markets, with a complex global supply chain and sustainability commitments linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The proposal focuses on the challenges associated with achieving supply chain transparency, managing fragmented sustainability data, and balancing sustainable sourcing and operational costs. The project investigates how emerging digital technologies, particularly blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), could support greater transparency, traceability, operational efficiency and sustainability within Unilever's supply chain. The organisational analysis identifies issues including the complexity of tracing raw materials across multi-tier supply chains, fragmented procurement and sustainability information systems, and the tension between sustainability investments and short-term operational costs. The proposal also considers infrastructure readiness, data security and employee upskilling as factors affecting digital transformation. The research aims to examine how digital transformation technologies could improve sustainable supply chain planning at Unilever while supporting long-term business and environmental goals. Three objectives are established: examining sustainability challenges affecting Unilever's global supply chain, assessing how blockchain, IoT and AI could improve transparency, traceability and efficiency, and proposing strategic recommendations for integrating digital innovation into Unilever's sustainability framework. The central research question examines how digital transformation can contribute to an ethical, transparent and sustainable supply chain while maintaining operational efficiency. A qualitative exploratory case-study research design is proposed. The main emphasis is on secondary data, including Unilever's annual reports, sustainability information, digital transformation publications, company news, industry articles and analyst reports. Where feasible, primary data may be collected through semi-structured expert interviews and a short qualitative questionnaire. The proposed analysis includes thematic analysis, document review and descriptive statistics using relevant secondary numerical data. Validity is supported through triangulation, while reliability is addressed through consistent coding and an audit trail. The proposal also addresses ethical considerations, including research integrity, transparency, confidentiality, informed consent, anonymity, GDPR requirements, plagiarism avoidance, Harvard referencing and potential corporate bias or greenwashing. Overall, the project explores the potential contribution of digital innovation to Unilever's sustainability objectives and the wider responsible digitalisation of the FMCG supply chain.

Information Organization System Case Study

This assignment requires students to gain a practical understanding of an information organization system by selecting a system of their choice and systematically studying how it works, how it developed, and how it may evolve in the future. The selected system may include a library online catalog or library management system, database, search engine, or another appropriate information system. The assignment begins with identifying an information organization system and providing a link to the system or an information page about it. Students then research the history of the selected system and describe important milestones in its development. The research should address why the system was built, what existed before the system, who its intended users are, whether it was developed from scratch or based on existing technology, and which companies or individuals were involved in its creation. Students are also asked to consider whether the system is an appropriate fit for the organization. A major component of the case study is an examination of the fields and metadata within the system. Students identify the types of information objects entered into the system and examine at least four to six fields, such as author, title, publication year, patient name, date of visit, or reason for visit, depending on the selected system. The assignment also asks students to discuss whether the fields are appropriate for the system and its users and whether additional fields could be useful. The assignment further requires an examination of how the system can be evaluated and what its future may look like. Students consider current evaluation methods, user involvement, potential integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, possible replacement by more efficient systems, areas of concern, and the qualifications and experience required to manage the system. The final submission must be written as an essay describing the selected system. It should include a title page, an introduction, complete sentences and paragraphs, and a length of approximately 2,000–3,000 words. At least four APA-style references are required, with at least two references coming from assigned course readings.
