Sustainable Supply Chains in the Zero-Carbon Era
摘要
A key tactic for businesses looking to balance social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and economic viability in their supply chains and operations is sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). The importance of SSCM in tackling modern issues like resource scarcity, climate change, and ethical sourcing practices is examined in this study. In addition to offering helpful suggestions for companies and legislators, it highlights essential obstacles to adopting SSCM, such as supplier preparedness problems, regulatory uncertainties, and cost concerns. The recommendations emphasize supply chain collaboration, technological innovation, leadership commitment, and open reporting of sustainability metrics. Enhancing operational effectiveness, controlling risks, fostering better relationships with stakeholders, and advancing long-term sustainability objectives are all implications of SSCM. In the future, research will focus on developing theoretical frameworks, broadening the scope of empirical studies to include a variety of industries and geographical areas, and investigating how emerging technologies can improve the efficacy of SSCM. Organizations can develop shared value across international supply chains, promote innovation, increase resilience, and lessen risks and environmental effects by incorporating SSCM principles. The research outcomes of this study will not only enhance scholarly comprehension but also furnish companies with feasible approaches to accomplish their carbon neutral objectives.
