Today, one of the top priorities of an organization's modern
corporate strategy is to portray itself as socially responsible and
environmentally sustainable. As a focal point of sustainability
initiatives, green supply chain management has emerged as a key
strategy that can provide competitive advantages with significant
parallel gains for company profitability. In designing a green
supply chain, the intent is the adoption of comprehensive and
cross-business sustainability principles, from the product
conception stage to the end-of-life stage. In this context, green
initiatives relate to tangible and intangible corporate benefits.

their supply chains has helped reduce operating cost, thus boosting
effectiveness and efficiency while increasing sustainability of the
business. Green Supply Chain Management provides a strategic
overview of sustainable supply chain management, shedding light on
the theoretical background and key principles of the topic.
Specifically, this book covers various thematic areas including
benefits and impact of green supply chain management; enablers and
barriers on supply chain operations; inbound and outbound logistics

is to highlight the challenges in the implementation of green
supply chain management in modern companies and to provide a
roadmap for decision-making in real-life cases. Combining chapter
