Call for Chapters

The Case for Your Contribution

We are inviting you to contribute a chapter on Sustainable Supply chain Management that will appear in a compendium of research as part of the highly regarded 'Routledge Companion' book series. The objective of this Routledge Companion on Sustainable Supply Chain Management is to provide a prestigious reference work that offers students and researchers detailed insights on current scholarship in the growing discipline of sustainable supply chain management, reflecting on Industry and Supply Chain 5.0 technologies, as well as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements.

Routledge has published comparable companions in other important domains (https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Companions/book-series/ROUTCOMPS<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.routledge.com_Routledge-2DCompanions_book-2Dseries_ROUTCOMPS&d=DwMFAw&c=KveGjKEXiH4bMFgGs-LRbCbewnnyGW6-rJ0JK7ViA_E&r=O_3FZpIO8lOSIHi11gjED0Ekrv5TXQQ_TgzqNuAlxlA&m=ybi4aCjaXWkGLWZP7Td43XESaasOglSKY2prBD7ZM2xxaNwk69IRj1bh8RpKjtWv&s=8kBZeAHWkJE7E_LzpZ_trkRYaWU1DcD3HoCHsastUQY&e=>). These companions are indexed by the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Further information on indexing could be found on https://www.routledge.com/faqs/author-faqs/citation-indexes<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.routledge.com_faqs_author-2Dfaqs_citation-2Dindexes&d=DwMFAw&c=KveGjKEXiH4bMFgGs-LRbCbewnnyGW6-rJ0JK7ViA_E&r=O_3FZpIO8lOSIHi11gjED0Ekrv5TXQQ_TgzqNuAlxlA&m=ybi4aCjaXWkGLWZP7Td43XESaasOglSKY2prBD7ZM2xxaNwk69IRj1bh8RpKjtWv&s=VQhM3HiT9tKKAsLLGAtP4MJsfMZDRsvFEFIwKGfWOpI&e=>.

By participating in this project, your work will be published alongside other researchers working on sustainable supply chain management. We hope you will be available to add your expertise to this significant project, and we would be grateful if you could respond to this invitation as quickly as possible.

Motivation

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is an expansive subject with past academic literature examining primarily economic perspectives, and only in recent years have we witnessed an increasing focus on ecological and social implications (Zimon et al., 2020). Equally, few supply chain management authors have explicitly placed research on sustainability in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the wider context of the planetary boundaries (Beske-Janssen et al., 2015), whilst almost no research has attempted to make appropriate linkages between the micro, meso, and macro levels and appropriate stakeholders of these levels as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Research Levels

This represents a key gap that we plan to address with this Companion. Specifically, we invite scholars and practitioners to contribute to the following three levels: micro, meso, and macro, mapped along supply chain functions of the Supply Chain Operations Reference model (www.ascm.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ascm.org_&d=DwMFAw&c=KveGjKEXiH4bMFgGs-LRbCbewnnyGW6-rJ0JK7ViA_E&r=O_3FZpIO8lOSIHi11gjED0Ekrv5TXQQ_TgzqNuAlxlA&m=ybi4aCjaXWkGLWZP7Td43XESaasOglSKY2prBD7ZM2xxaNwk69IRj1bh8RpKjtWv&s=r24eWCcXfU9arbNXFv9sEyzye3gGLCAZLgM7YAGDI_U&e=>) to address the 17 SDGs as set by the United Nations (UN) (https://sdgs.un.org/goals<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sdgs.un.org_goals&d=DwMFAw&c=KveGjKEXiH4bMFgGs-LRbCbewnnyGW6-rJ0JK7ViA_E&r=O_3FZpIO8lOSIHi11gjED0Ekrv5TXQQ_TgzqNuAlxlA&m=ybi4aCjaXWkGLWZP7Td43XESaasOglSKY2prBD7ZM2xxaNwk69IRj1bh8RpKjtWv&s=ke88L3zYgrcK1-7loUSvc_DcpQTNSfr7zbYnMz-DK1g&e=>).

At the micro level, we consider the supply chain and its stakeholders. At the meso level, we consider the political and economic decisions affecting societal stakeholders. At the macro level, we invite research addressing planetary stakeholders, going beyond supply chains or countries, considering the implications of activities for the sustainability of the Earth.

Approach

We aim to receive chapters examining sustainability at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels focusing on functional areas related to Supply Chain Management, usually summarised by the SCOR model (Order, Plan, Source, Transform, Fulfil, Return). These functional areas can include (but are not limited to) the following:

  1.  Product design
  2.  Procurement/sourcing
  3.  Manufacturing
  4.  Warehousing
  5.  Transport and distribution
  6.  Reverse logistics
  7.  Packaging management
  8.  Waste management
  9.  Circularity and circular business models
  10. Risk and resilience
  11. Industry 4.0 technologies (e.g., big data analytics, blockchain, cyber security)
  12. Infrastructure development
  13. SSCM strategy

The submitted chapters should be linked to SDGs emphasising the importance of the adoption and implementation of SDGs in supply chains (Agrawal et al., 2022). This is extremely important as the adoption of SDGs in supply chains can provide a new pathway for sustainability (Scheyvens et al., 2016), and contributors are expected to link their work explicitly with one or more of the 17 SDGs considering the book's micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. Subsequently, contributors are expected to include a section in their chapter reflecting on their contribution to knowledge in relation to the addressed SDGs.

In line with the Cranfield ethos, we welcome contributions from academic researchers, supply chain practitioners, and senior managers to share their views on sustainability topics. Linking SDGs to SSCM can enable practitioners to develop more advanced and complex approaches, which should translate into more stable, efficient, and ethical supply chains (Zimon et al., 2020).
