A Review of Supply Chain Sustainability Strategies

Abstract

Supply chain sustainability has become a critical strategic priority for organizations seeking to balance economic performance with environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Increasing globalization, regulatory pressure, climate change concerns, and stakeholder expectations have compelled firms to adopt sustainable supply chain strategies. This review paper synthesizes key theories, models, and practices related to sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). It examines environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability, explores strategic approaches such as green supply chains, circular economy models, and supplier collaboration, and evaluates their impact on organizational performance. A comparative analysis of major sustainability strategies is presented, followed by a discussion of implementation challenges and emerging trends such as digitalization and ESG integration. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for integrated, adaptive, and transparent sustainability strategies to enhance long-term supply chain resilience and competitiveness.
