Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The United Nations’ recent 2021 Climate Change report comprehensively described the negative effects of human activity on our globe and climate and outlined the steps necessary to respond (IPCC, 2021). While supply chain management is an essential component in improving global economies and quality of life metrics, it also encompasses and drives much of the human activity causing these negative effects. Recognizing the importance of this issue, environmental sustainability has become a strategic goal for many supply chain managers and organizations and a differentiator for competitive market advantage.
As supply chain management thought leaders, we have a responsibility to contribute sound, research-based solutions to help to mitigate the environmentally damaging impacts of our field and improve the positive outcomes that can result from excellent applications of scholarship to evolving paradigms.
This Special Issue call for papers welcomes interdisciplinary, research-based scholarly contributions that advocate for the integration of modern environmentally sustainable principles and methods to supply chain management strategies and practices, with the potential to advance theory and practice in this critical focus area. Integrating environmentally, sustainable, and financially balanced practices across the entire supply chain management system, including products and services, and joining up- and downstream activities, brings the potential for valuable contributions and advances, since the supply chain management system crosses geographical boundaries, academic disciplines, and ideologies. Innovation emerges from such diversity.
