Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable enterprise development increasingly relies on the integration of green supply chain management (GSCM) principles to address global environmental challenges and resource constraints. This Special Issue focuses on the theoretical, methodological, and practical advancements in green supply chain strategies that promote environmental, economic, and operational sustainability across various industries.
We welcome the submission of high-quality research and review articles that explore sustainable procurement, green logistics, circular economy models, low-carbon manufacturing, supplier collaboration, and digital technologies in GSCM. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches that bridge engineering, management, and environmental sciences to support decision-making for sustainability transitions.
Topics of interest include the optimization of green operations, the role of Industry 4.0 technologies in sustainable supply chains, environmental performance assessment, and regulatory or policy-driven frameworks for sustainable enterprise transformation. Submissions should provide rigorous empirical or theoretical contributions with clear implications for advancing sustainable practices and policies in supply chain networks.
All submissions will undergo a thorough peer-review process to ensure scientific quality and relevance. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute to this Special Issue and help shape the future of sustainable enterprise systems.
