ABSTRACT

The increasing global concern over ecological degradation has pushed companies and regulatory bodies to integrate sustainability into supply chain management. This paper explores the evolution of traditional supply chain management into sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), highlighting key concepts, technological innovations, best practices, and real-world applications. Key principles of SSCM include environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. Innovations such as blockchain, machine learning, IoT, and smart logistics are examined for their role in enhancing sustainability. Best practices for implementation and illustrative case studies demonstrate the practical challenges and solutions in SSCM. The paper concludes with insights into the future of SSCM and the continuous need for innovation and adaptation.

Keywords: Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), Environmental Stewardship, Social Responsibility, Economic Viability, Technological Innovations.
