Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Practices for a Greener Future

Abstract:

Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Practices for a Greener Future provides a comprehensive guide to integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into global supply chains. Authored by Irshadullah Asim Mohammed, the book explores the evolving role of supply chains in addressing climate change, resource depletion, and social inequities. It emphasizes principles of green supply chain management (GSCM), including sustainable procurement, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and digitalization, while highlighting the need for stakeholder engagement and resilience in the face of disruptions.

The text progresses from foundational concepts—such as defining sustainable supply chain management and its environmental, social, and economic drivers—to advanced strategies like life cycle assessments, risk management, and innovations shaping future supply chains. Case studies of industry leaders illustrate practical applications, and frameworks for metrics, reporting, and roadmaps guide organizations in implementing sustainable practices. Drawing on real-world examples, the book underscores the challenges of transitioning to greener operations, such as high costs and resistance to change, while advocating for collaboration across industries to foster resilience and positive impact.

Key themes include the circular economy, ethical sourcing, and the intersection of technology (e.g., AI, IoT, and blockchain) with sustainability. The book concludes with a vision for next- generation supply chains that balance profitability with planetary well-being, making it an essential resource for businesses, policymakers, and academics committed to sustainable development. Through meticulous research and actionable insights, it serves as a roadmap for reimagining supply chains as engines of positive global change.
