Exploring Stakeholder Perspectives on Supply Chain Sustainability in Renewable Energy Industries

Abstract

Abstract This qualitative research study explores stakeholder perspectives on supply chain sustainability within the renewable energy industry. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, diverse viewpoints, challenges, and strategies to enhance sustainability practices in renewable energy supply chains are uncovered. Government agencies, industry associations, renewable energy companies, NGOs, investors, and local communities contribute their insights, reflecting on environmental impacts, social responsibility, economic viability, and stakeholder engagement. Key findings emphasize the importance of minimizing environmental footprints, promoting social inclusion, overcoming economic barriers, and fostering collaborative partnerships. Stakeholder engagement emerges as crucial for transparency, trust-building, and shared accountability, enabling collective action towards a more sustainable energy future. The study contributes valuable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and practitioners to drive collaborative efforts and advance sustainability goals across renewable energy supply chains.
