About this ebook

This book emerges from a fundamental recognition that supply chain excellence requires achieving both operational efficiency and environmental stewardship through strategic integration of advanced digital technologies with comprehensive sustainability frameworks. The research and practical insights presented reflect extensive investigation into how organizations can leverage artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, blockchain, cloud computing, and emerging technologies to create supply networks that simultaneously deliver superior performance and positive environmental impact. The journey to this publication began with a critical observation: while supply chain literature extensively covers digital transformation and sustainability as distinct domains, virtually no comprehensive guidance exists for practitioners seeking systematic integration of these approaches. This gap leaves organizations struggling to coordinate separate initiatives, resulting in suboptimal outcomes, resource conflicts, and missed opportunities for breakthrough performance improvement.
