To live with limited resources we need to achieve more with less, which requires us to change the way we design, produce, use and dispose of the products and services we own and con-sume. Hence effective sustainable development must extend beyond an individual company, both up and down the supply chain.
In addition, sustainability requires appropriate balance along the triple bottom line – environ-mental performance, social performance and economic performance. It cannot be realised unless it not only positively affects the natural environment and society, but also results in long-term economic benefits and competitive advantages for firms. However, most of the related literature is single-firm-centric, and often reduces sustainability to environment im-provement.
The goal of this special issue is to publish high quality and relevant research on the interface between sustainable supply chain management and production. We welcome papers that open/broaden our perspective on this important interface, including papers that contribute to exploring the role of governments and the public in sustainability or in balancing the triple bottom line of sustainability.
