The escalating demand for items and their consumption has exerted immense pressure on industrial production and supply chain systems, leading to adverse environmental and societal consequences. The rise in pollution rates and ecological disasters resulting from industrial production has prompted numerous scholars and industry specialists to focus on Sustainable Production and Consumption matters within the framework of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). The interest in sustainable supply chain management has significantly increased in recent years, spanning both business and academic sectors. This phenomenon is seen in the growing prevalence of papers, conferences, specialized periodicals, and websites exclusively focused on the subject matter. Nevertheless, the importance of sustainable development in developing economies has only just started to be acknowledged. This literature review aims to assess existing research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in developing nations while considering a worldwide perspective. This paper thoroughly examines the rapid expansion of the subject from an evolutionary perspective; aimed at comprehending the progression of sustainability concerns by examining patterns across different industries, and economies, and employing diverse approaches. An extensive thematic analysis was conducted on 56 selected publications published between 2010 and 2023, emphasizing the growth and significance of the knowledge base. The analysis is conducted utilizing a descriptive and content-oriented methodology. Subsequently, the results are presented, demonstrating an increasing interest in Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). Nevertheless, there is a conspicuous discrepancy in the extent of research carried out on this subject in emerging economies as opposed to industrialized ones. The findings indicate that the context in less developed countries plays a crucial role in carrying out empirical or case study research. Moreover, it is crucial to analyze how the integration of the three dimensions of sustainability impacts the efficiency of the supply chain, especially when considering the perspective of an emerging economy. Hence, the limitations of this investigation are delineated. Ultimately, it is crucial to do further research from multiple angles within the supply chain, encompassing collaboration, sustainable practices, innovation, sourcing, and supplier growth, with a special emphasis on the position and background of rising countries.

Safety risk and operational efficiency in sustainable coal supply was an issue in the coal distribution supply chain. An online survey evaluating safety hazards, operational effectiveness, logistic service providers, and sustainable supply chain management was completed by 89 consumers of coal logistic service providers. In contrast, this study aimed to evaluate the operational effectiveness and safety concerns of a sustainable coal supply chain managed by the logistic service providers on the Barito River. In addition to using path analysis, quantitative research methods were also applied to calculate and process the questionnaire data, producing a value that determined the weight of each vendor, criterion, and sub-criterion. It showed several positive and significant influences connected to the safety of sustainable supply chain management, the operational efficiency of logistic service providers, supply chain management, and security risks for the providers. Therefore, it was essential to unite the positive influences on the logistic flow to secure the coal supply chain activities on the Barito River. This research would have theoretical and practical applications, adding to the advancement of science through its applications. Such knowledge would affect the safety risk and operational efficiency of sustainable supply chain management through the logistic service providers on the Barito River, Central Kalimantan.

The objective of the study is to identify the impact of big data on sustainable supply chain management. The current research was conducted on hypermarkets in Jordan. Many of these hypermarket brands are widely scattered in Jordan, for instance, Carrefour, Kareem, Safeway and more. Accordingly, the target population in the current research was hypermarkets managers in Jordan as they are responsible for formulating such strategies in the companies they work for. A convenience sample was selected from the target population that included 770 managers based on the sample size formula. The study hypotheses were tested by covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM). The study results showed the impact of each big data dimension on sustainable supply chain management. Based on this result, the researchers recommend the hypermarkets in Jordan to use modern and diverse methods for accurate collection of reliable data and save it in organized ways, and to employ advanced programs to analyze it and extract information of high value.

This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurial strategy on organizational performance, the effect of social capital on organizational performance with sustainable supply chain management as a mediating variable. Sustainable supply chain management has an important influence on organizational measurement in various industries. It is used in considering environmental impacts and supplier responsibilities. The population in the current study were 390 logistics managers of companies in the manufacturing industry in Indonesia. The sample in this study was taken by purposive sampling, namely the sampling method based on certain criteria and considerations. In this study, hypothesis testing used the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The data collection technique used is an online survey. The survey was carried out by distributing online questionnaires designed using the 1 to 7 Likert method to managers in the logistics section of the manufacturing industry. The stages of data analysis were to test convergent validity, discriminant validity test, goodness fit model test to meet the R-square value and test the hypothesis. The results show that entrepreneurial strategy and social capital had an influence on organizational performance and sustainable supply chain management. In addition, sustainable supply chain management mediates between organizational performance and entrepreneurial strategy, while social capital sustainable supply chain management does not mediate the organizational performance variables.

In this paper, the relationship between political instability and sustainable supply chain management is examined within the context of Palestine. This is due to the fact that instable state has created a chaotic situation for manufacturers. This paper tends to this subject through quantitative measures from the perspective of employees. A number of 265 employees were selected in manufacturing organizations of Palestine, in which sus-tainable supply chain practices were found to be in the mindset of managers and have been shared with em-ployees and/or the practices are implemented within the firm. This study uses statistical analyses (ANOVA and Correlation analysis) alongside construct reliability and factor loadings to test proposed hypotheses. Results of the analysis show a significant negative effect from political instability and its dimension upon sustainable supply chain management practices and their implementation that is perceived by the employees. Contributions of this papers are threefold as the literature lacks direct examination of current factors, instable countries such as Palestine have not been examined in terms of sustainable supply chain, and managers can benefit from importance of various factors of sustainable practices of supply chain.

The performance of sustainable supply chain management today, especially for palm oil, continues to experience a drastic decline from the social, economic, and environmental perspectives. Both the supply and demand sides are undergoing severe disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To survive the COVID-19 situation and afterward, the palm oil industry needs to focus on priority indicators for immediate improvement. For that reason, our study aims to determine the primary indicators used to assess the performance of sustainable supply chain management to improve the palm oil industry's performance immediately. The F-AHP method is used to rank which indicators are focused on the COVID-19 situation and thereafter. The findings of this study designate that there are three main indicators, namely from the economic side (adaptability), the social side (improving employee health and safety), and the environmental side (sustainable supplier management). This finding is beneficial for the industry and for supply chain actors such as suppliers, customers, and the government in taking attitudes and setting policies related to sustainable supply chain management in the face of pandemic.
