Impact of Digitalization on Sustainable Supply Chain Management

Abstract

There are only so many resources available; it is essential to put into action strategies that will lead to sustainable growth if one wishes to ensure their continued success over the long run. Despite this, a significant number of scholars have investigated the prospect that digital technologies may be able to increase sustainable performance in this age of digitalization and globalization. This research maintains collaboration and coordination in a digitally connected supply chain (SC) could contribute to sustainability is still in its early phases, and there is still a long way to go before it can be considered complete. Using SC, it is possible to cut down on the amount of energy that is consumed, cut down on the amount of time that is spent traveling, and make better use of the assets that are employed in logistics. Case studies conducted with a variety of manufacturers form the basis of this investigation and will serve as its primary focus. Researchers nevertheless give equal weight to the social and environmental sustainability components, even though the majority of studies in this subject concentrate on the financial aspect of the topic. The research concluded that incorporating SC into logistics and supply chain management led to a moderate improvement in terms of both environmental and social sustainability.
