Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is an approach to procurement that considers the environmental, social, and ethical dimensions of a business’s products and services. The goal is to create a continuous cycle of production and consumption that benefits both people and the planet. It includes activities such as reducing or eliminating unsustainable sources of materials; encouraging improved labor conditions along the supply chain; reducing energy and water use; minimizing hazardous waste; and incorporating green standards into product manufacturing. SSCM promotes resilience in global supply chains and ensures that businesses are taking responsibility for their impacts on society and the environment.
