SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND ETHICAL DIMENSIONS

Author(s) Dr. J RAMA DEVI, Dr. K USHASRI DEVI

Abstract Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) has emerged as a vital strategic framework for organizations striving to achieve economic efficiency while simultaneously addressing environmental protection and ethical responsibility. Growing global concerns related to climate change, natural resource depletion, unethical labor practices, and social inequality have intensified the need for sustainability-oriented supply chain practices. This paper aims to critically review and synthesize existing literature on the environmental and ethical dimensions of SSCM, highlighting key concepts, practices, and emerging trends. A structured and integrative literature review methodology was adopted, drawing insights from peer-reviewed journals, books, and reputed academic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, and Google Scholar. The review findings indicate that the integration of environmental initiatives such as green procurement, waste reduction, and carbon management with ethical practices such as fair labor standards, transparency, and responsible sourcing significantly enhances long-term organizational competitiveness, stakeholder trust, and corporate reputation. Despite notable progress, the literature reveals persistent challenges related to implementation, measurement, and supplier compliance, particularly in developing economies.
