Sustainable Production and Supply Chain Management

Dear Colleagues,

Continuous climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and war conflicts have been constituting major environmental and socio-economic challenges that pose significant stress in the worldwide economy. From a business perspective, these events have created unprecedented negative implications across global production and supply networks. Hence, it is crucial that forthcoming research investigates how novel business models, indicatively employing circular, human-centric, and/or digital interventions, could transform existing supply chains into more sustainable and resilient ones.

This Special Issue aims to shed light on sustainable production, operations, and supply chains for providing meaningful managerial implications and research recommendations. The submitted articles are anticipated to act as a ‘guide map’ for both academics and practitioners in designing and (re)configuring efficient supply networks, building upon the SDGs in the era of digital transformation.

In this Special Issue, original research articles (e.g., methodological approaches, case studies, analytical/computational models) and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Sustainable production and consumption;
• Sustainable supply chains;
• Sustainable operations management.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
