Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is an expansive subject. Climate science shows that our planet's carbon budget will be exhausted swiftly and we are amid an exceptionally rapid and human-induced biodiversity loss. Supply chains historically tend to be operated without much concern for their broader contextual environment; however, recent years have been characterised by increasing care for supply chains' ecological and social implications. This comprehensive volume provides an overview of current and future research within SSCM, aligned with the UN SDGs.

Bringing together esteemed international contributors from academia and industry, the book follows a unique framework of micro, meso and macro levels. At the micro level, contributors consider the supply chain and its stakeholders. At the meso level, chapters consider the political and economic decisions affecting societal stakeholders. And at the micro level, the book addresses planetary stakeholders, going beyond supply chains or countries to consider the implications of activities for the sustainability of the Earth.

This prestigious reference work is the definitive resource for researchers and students seeking convenient access to a vast area of research and practice within supply chain management, logistics, operations and sustainability.
