Edited by Michael Henke, Professor Holger Kohl

Description

Sustainability can create greater efficiency and cost savings in the supply chain.

Supply chains, which are more complex and global than ever before, are full of both risks and opportunities.

The risks range from inconsistent or poor quality, supply disruptions and health and safety concerns, to corruption.

Businesses face pressure to adopt sustainable supply chain practices from various stakeholders and motivations typically come from one or more of four sources: customers, compliance, costs, competitive advantage.

Sustainability in Global Value Chains is the guide to understanding all aspects and approaches of sustainable supply chains using in-depth research from leading academics from sixteen different universities. Sustainability in Global Value Chains focuses on how to make supply chains sustainable, with an emphasis on new technologies and digitization.

The research featured covers topics such as KPIs in production and supply chains, the role of standards, blockchain technology and algebraic models.

This comprehensive book presents real world issues, problems in implementing sustainability in the supply chain and examples of best practice.
