Sustainability in supply chains is a multi-faceted concept that takes into account not only the environmental but also the economic and social aspects of supply chain management practices. It involves the systematic implementation of strategies and solutions that minimize the negative impact of supply chains on the environment while also ensuring economic viability and social responsibility.
What is Supply Chain Sustainability?
Supply chain sustainability aims to create a balance between the three pillars of sustainability: economic growth, environmental protection, and social responsibility. It recognizes that supply chains are complex networks involving multiple stakeholders, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. Each stakeholder's actions can impact the overall sustainability of the supply chain.
