Effective inventory management is crucial for businesses to maintain operational efficiency and meet customer demands while minimizing costs. The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model has long been a cornerstone in inventory management, offering a framework to optimize ordering quantities and minimize holding costs. However, traditional EOQ models often overlook environmental considerations, focusing solely on economic factors. In recent years, the importance of sustainability in business operations has gained significant attention. Balancing environmental concerns with economic considerations presents a challenge for businesses seeking to align their practices with sustainable principles. This paper explores the integration of sustainability principles into the EOQ model to achieve a balance between environmental responsibility and economic efficiency. By incorporating sustainability metrics, such as carbon footprint, energy consumption, and waste generation into the EOQ model, businesses can make informed decisions that reduce their environmental impact while maintaining profitability. This integration requires a comprehensive understanding of the environmental implications of inventory management practices and the willingness to adopt alternative strategies that prioritize sustainability. Through case studies and theoretical analysis, this paper demonstrates the potential benefits of integrating sustainability into the EOQ model. By considering both environmental and economic factors in inventory management decisions, businesses can enhance their competitiveness, build resilience, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
