Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) aims to minimize negative environmental and social impacts through a comprehensive approach. This approach includes optimizing water and energy consumption, reducing pollution, improving working conditions, strengthening biosecurity, supporting marginalized communities, preserving biodiversity, and responsible use of land resources.
Additionally, the SSCM combines:
Strategic thinking.
Planning.
Action throughout the entire supply chain.
This seeks to balance financial, environmental, and social performance effectively.
