Enhancing Sustainable Performance With Low-Carbon Supply Chains

Building low-carbon supply chains becomes critical for organizations enhancing sustainable performance in a climate-conscious world. As global pressure increases to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, businesses rethink traditional supply chain models to prioritize energy efficiency, renewable resources, and circular economy principles. Low-carbon supply chains help companies meet regulatory requirements and environmental goals while driving innovation, reducing operational costs, and strengthening brand value. By integrating sustainability into every part of the supply chain, organizations can create resilient, future-ready operations that balance profitability with environmental responsibility. Enhancing Sustainable Performance With Low-Carbon Supply Chains explores the integration of intelligence and sustainability in supply chains. It examines the latest technological, organizational and regulatory developments in supply chains, addressing barriers to technological integration and changes in global trade. This book covers topics such as green logistics, transportation management, and decarbonization, and is a useful resource for business owners, climatologists, engineers, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
