Advocating for the CSCP Certification, APICS has published the following which merits all members to review their career goals and aspirations:

Navigating a sea of regulations Regulations regarding hazardous substances in a supply chain have long been common concerns for operations and supply chain management professionals, but only recently have laws regarding sustainability practices become more common. Of course, the first step for anyone in the industry is to learn all the laws and regulations for your supply chain__which might be a daunting task in itself, considering the global reach of today's supply chains.

The next step is to evaluate how to make supply chain decisions while considering those standards. Doing this, according to the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) Learning System, requires you to "think like a supply chain manager. Think of the overall functions that are included in the entire supply chain and look for causes and effects." This includes elements such as environmentally designed facilities, the safety of employees, the use of toxic materials, and the choice of carrier.
