What is sustainable supply chain management (SSCM)?

For the last two decades, technologies and activities of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) have been concerned with integrating environmental, economic, and social goals throughout the manufacturing process of firm’s supply chain operations and strategies to promote sustainability (Khan et al. 2021a, 2021b).

Do energy SCS still have a green SCM focus?

Moreover, it is interesting to see that sustainability perspectives on energy SCs still have a strong green SCM focus and seem to lack behind in the consideration of social sustainability, although the provision of for example coal, and biomass are often associated with hard labour conditions [76, 81].

What is supply chain management (SCM)?

As Lambert explains, ‘SCM is the integration of key business processes across the supply chain and the processes can be linked successfully only if the relationships with the other members of the supply chain are managed properly’ (2008, 235).

What is green supply chain management (SCM)?

Srivastava (2007) elaborated that green SCM is fundamentally putting the green element into the supply chain management, which comprises green operations management, green product manufacturing, green product design, lean management, and reverse logistics.

Are SSCM networks good for green supply chain management?

Similarly, Rajeev et al. (2017) established the review on the design of SSCM networks and incorporated the different techniques that positively works for the upgradation of the green supply chain management field. Their study results focused on the significance of strategic decisions and their impact on sustainable firm performance.

Are energy SCs and SSCM a theoretical basis for research?

By critically analyzing the findings against the nature of energy SCs as well as SSCM as a theoretical basis, this study moreover identifies biases in the current literature base and proposes a two-level research agenda including six critical avenues for future research.
