Sustainable Supply Chain Practices

Abstract

This chapter explores contemporary solutions for sustainable transportation within the supply chain and provides a rationale for adopting these practices. Sustainable supply chain practices have become increasingly important as businesses and societies recognize the need to mitigate environmental impact and promote responsible resource management. Transportation plays a critical role in determining the overall sustainability of the supply chain, making it essential to identify innovative practices, technologies, and strategies that can reduce environmental impact, improve efficiency, and enhance sustainability. The chapter highlights the pressing need to address the environmental impact of transportation, including greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and resource depletion. By adopting sustainable transportation practices, organizations can minimize their carbon footprint, reduce pollution, and conserve valuable resources.
