Doing less harm is no longer the ceiling for a supply chain. Customers, regulators and lenders have started asking whether sourcing leaves the land, the water and the communities behind it better than it found them, and few procurement functions can answer.
The program teaches sourcing, sustainability and strategy professionals the regenerative alternative: outcome-based agricultural sourcing, nature-positive goals, restoration of natural and social capital, supplier partnerships and finance that reward improvement, and the measurement and verification that keep a regenerative claim honest.
Food, beverage, textile and materials companies can license it for sourcing and sustainability together, running it as 30 hours of self-paced online learning on the Blue Ocean learning platform, available on web and mobile. The administrator dashboard tracks enrollment, progress and completion for the cohort.
Participants work on one of their own commodity chains throughout, assessing its impacts and dependencies, choosing interventions and partners, and defining metrics and MRV, so the capstone roadmap is a usable draft. Finishing every module and assessment results in a digital, verifiable MBE credential.
Food and beverage, textile, materials and packaging companies with agricultural or land-based inputs are the obvious buyers. Supply chain and sourcing directors learn to set regenerative strategy at category level. Agriculture and raw material buyers learn what to ask of a farm or cooperative and how to contract for outcomes rather than practices.
Sustainability and nature leads gain the TNFD and SBTN logic to set targets, and MRV and data specialists learn how outcomes get measured and verified. Corporate strategy teams, impact investors and NGO or landscape program managers complete the picture. Mixed cohorts are strongly advised, since regeneration is negotiated between buyer, supplier, financier and landscape.
The 21 modules move from mindset to method to money and measurement. Modules one to four establish why regeneration is the next step beyond sustainability, its principles and what a regenerative supply chain is. Modules five to ten supply the toolkit: regenerative agriculture and sourcing, nature-positive chains using the TNFD approach, natural and social capital, soil, water and carbon, systems design and the link to the circular economy.
Modules eleven to fifteen cover partnerships, measurement, finance, technology and digital MRV. The remaining modules apply the material by sector and case studies, confront credibility risk, scan policy and standards, and end with strategy building and a capstone transformation roadmap.
Module two draws the line. Sustainability and ESG, as commonly practiced, aim to do less harm; a regenerative chain is designed to leave soil, water, biodiversity and livelihoods measurably better than it found them. Module four extends the idea across tiers, from linear chains to value webs with a defined scope and boundary, and module ten shows where this overlaps with circular economy thinking and where it goes further.
Module five sets out the principles of regenerative agriculture and the shift from paying for practices to paying for outcomes such as soil health, water and biodiversity, and how to work with farmers and primary producers. Module eleven turns that into partnership design: collaboration across tiers and landscapes, incentives for regenerative practice, long-term contracts that share risk, and pre-competitive coalitions. Buyers leave with a model they can take into a sourcing negotiation.
Three modules handle it. Module twelve defines net-positive outcomes and indicators, introduces the SBTN AR3T framework and science-based targets for nature, and deals with baselines, additionality and attribution. Module fourteen covers the data layer: remote sensing, satellite and IoT monitoring, traceability and provenance, and data governance. Module fifteen puts it together as a measurement, reporting and verification system with an audit-ready evidence chain.
Yes. Module sixteen works through regenerative models in food and beverage, fashion and textiles, and materials, packaging and the built environment, then draws out the transferable patterns. The nature assessment, natural capital, finance and MRV content applies to any company whose inputs depend on land, water or ecosystems, which includes most manufacturers once the supply chain is traced back far enough.
Yes, and the format is built for it. All 30 hours are on the Blue Ocean learning platform, by web or mobile app, with nothing timetabled, so a buyer can move quickly through the systems theory and slow down on contracting while a nature lead does the reverse. The administrator dashboard shows the sponsor enrollment, progress and completion for everyone, which makes it simple to agree a shared finish date.
The participant holds a digital, verifiable MBE credential confirming completion of all 21 modules and the practice assessments, plus the capstone roadmap for the commodity chain they worked on. The company holds the completion record on the administrator dashboard and a set of draft roadmaps it can consolidate, which is a practical starting point for a regenerative sourcing strategy and for the evidence that customers and investors may ask to see.
Use the Register Now button on this page. It opens Mastering Regenerative Supply Chain on the Blue Ocean Academy website, where individual learners can enroll directly.
Your organization licenses seats for a cohort or a whole team. Participants study the self-paced modules on the Blue Ocean learning platform, on web or mobile, and your administrator follows enrollment, progress and completion on a dashboard.
Yes. A pilot cohort in one department is a practical first step. Use the corporate license form, and a program advisor will map the relevant courses and license options to your teams.
Ask about a pilot cohort for one commodity or category team, or request a corporate license across sourcing, sustainability and strategy.
