sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) answers the call for sustainable development by regulators, corporations, and consumers, given that it focusses on a triple bottom-line, namely environmental, social and economic performance (Golicic & Smith, 2013)
Summary
Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has gained substantial attention from both researchers and practitioners This paper identifies critical success factors that play an important role in adopting sustainable supply chain management using blockchain technology. The key question is whether the current supply chain information systems can support the information required for the timely provenance of goods and services in a secure manner which is clear and robust enough to trust The solution to this complex problem lies in enhancing supply chain transparency, safety, resilience, and process veracity. These findings will open new frontiers of debate for both academicians and practitioners, for example, issues such as decrease in opportunistic behavior of supply chain members, trust-less environment of transactions, regulatory support for smart contracts, social responsibility of BT, etc.
