Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of green supply chains in promoting sustainable economic development has received widespread attention from industry and academia. Green supply chains are based on supply chain management and involve manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and users. They aim to minimize negative environmental effects and maximize resource efficiency in the whole process, from production to use and scrap, including raw material acquisition, processing, packaging, storage, sales, transportation, use, and recycling. Sustainable economic development refers to the balance between economic growth speed, scale and resource limitations, environmental protection, and social justice.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Comprehensive evaluation of green supply chains.
- Green logistics and economic development.
- Green storage optimization decision.
- Green supply chain finance.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
