📌 Abstract
This collective body of work investigates key challenges and technological advancements in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), with a particular focus on environmental risks and inventory visibility. The first study identifies 21 dominant challenges to SSCM adoption by systematically reviewing literature from 61 relevant studies, providing strategic insights for decision-makers and researchers. The second study delves into environmental risks within supply chains, highlighting the role of Blockchain technology as a promising solution for mitigating these risks and promoting greener operations. The third paper presents a Blockchain-based inventory visibility scenario using Hyperledger Composer, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing safety stock levels and improving inventory accuracy. Together, these studies emphasize the importance of sustainability, risk mitigation, and technological innovation in enhancing supply chain performance.
