Sustainable Operations Practices, Performance and Management (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

The environment and our society are affected by industrial operations in the manufacturing and service industries through the generation of wastes and emissions from activities such as product development, sourcing and procurement, production, maintenance, inventory management, transportation, distribution and project management. However, increased corporate awareness on the importance of sustainability issues, coupled with pressure from consumers and regulators, has led to increased attention in sustainable operation practices. This Special Issue (SI) focuses on the latest developments in sustainable operation practices and management, such as the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies, decision optimization, operations research, strategic management and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, their performance and benefits impacting workers and other stakeholders, and inspiring further sustainability concerns. We earnestly invite scholars from various backgrounds and study areas to submit papers and reports related to the field of sustainable operations.
