Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era marked by environmental challenges and resource constraints, the need for sustainable practices in operations, logistics, and supply chain management has never been more pressing. This Special Issue, “Sustainable Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management,” seeks to address the critical intersection of sustainability with these fundamental business functions. It aims to explore innovative strategies, frameworks, and technologies that organizations can adopt to minimize their environmental impact, enhance efficiency, and achieve long-term resilience. The papers included in this issue will delve into green logistics, circular supply chains, and sustainable sourcing, highlighting both theoretical advancements and practical implementations. This Special Issue provides a comprehensive understanding of how businesses can align their operational and supply chain practices with sustainability goals by examining case studies, empirical research, and novel methodologies. The ultimate objective is to foster a dialog among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, driving the integration of sustainable practices in the fabric of global supply chains.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
