The concept of sustainable development is becoming incomprehensible and complex in global supply networks especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) that are most affected by ever-changing industry challenges and standards. Smart technologies emerged by Industry 4.0 sustainability and circular economy (CE) connection which remain unexplored can be integrated into the supply chain as a business strategy to increase collaboration and cooperation between different tiers of the supply chain to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) according to LMIC. Therefore the main objective of this paper is to discover the drivers of a smart sustainable circular supply chain (SSCSC) in achieving the SDGs in LMIC through stakeholder theory. First a systematic review is employed to identify the drivers of the SSCSC to achieve the SDGs in the LMIC incorporating existing literature on the subject. Second the Best-Worst Method (BWM) is applied to analyze the identified drivers and then the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used to analyze the SDGs. The applicability of the solution methodology was illustrated by providing a numerical example. The results of the study are twofold: firstly drivers are analyzed by implementation of BWM. The results of the BWM reveal that economic sustainability is the best key driver among the eight driversin achieving the SDGs meaning that without financial assistance and support achieving the SDGs becomes ineffective. Secondly the TOPSIS analysis reveals that SDG 16 (peace justice and strong institutions) is the SDG most supported by drivers.

(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021) Yasanur Kayikci; Yigit Kazancoglu; Cisem Lafci; Nazlican Gozacan; Kayikci, Yaşanur; Gozacan, Nazlican; Lafci, Cisem; Kazancoglu, Yigit
The transition process from linear economy to circular economy (CE) has brought many challenges and barriers. The three core concepts which are smartness sustainability and circularity need to be intertwined and adapted by companies to overcome these barriers. Based on this intertwined structure this paper presents the concept of Smart and Sustainable Circular Economy (SSCE) at the macro-level and addresses the barriers of SSCE under four main aspects: technology producers consumers and policy. Moreover these four aspects are investigated for small and medium-sized enterprises of an Eco-Cluster in the automotive industry. The fuzzy DEMATEL method is used to uncover analyse and discuss the influencing and affected SSCE barriers critically. Finding these SSCE barriers gives an insight into the underlying problems of CE practices as the only way to ensure an opportunity to achieve SSCE goals is to overcome them. The principal results show that problems of ownership issues in an Eco-Cluster lack of governmental support and administrative burden and lack of effective execution of environmental regulations are found as causal barriers that are difficult to change. Furthermore lack of integration and collaboration among supply chain partners ineffective CE framework adoption and product complexity for CE principles are classified as effect barriers that are easily affected by the other factors and the implications can be shown in the short-term. Besides the cooperation between supply chain partners can be encouraged to provide a solution to the lack of integration and collaboration between supply chain partners and the adoption of an ineffective CE framework.

(SPRINGER, 2024) Satyendra Kumar Sharma; Sajeev Abraham George; Praveen Ranjan Srivastava; Fauzia Jabeen; Cisem Lafci; Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Jabeen, Fauzia; George, Sajeev Abraham; Lafci, Cisem; Srivastava, Praveen Ranjan
While sustainability has been a well-researched area in academic literature the performance impact of its social dimensions remains largely unexplored especially in the context of emerging economies. The aim of this research paper is to test and validate the dimensions of supply chain social sustainability (SCSS) that firms should focus on and to examine the relationships between these practices and supply chain performance both short term and long term. This paper adopts a questionnaire-based survey research approach in the context of Indian automobile industry. Empirical validation of the conceptual model developed was carried out using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Multiple regression was used to test the relationships between SCSS practices and supply chain performance. This study finds empirical support to the proposition that a firm's initiatives on SCSS dimensions of safety labour rights ethical practices and welfare initiatives for people and their communities provide performance benefits to them and to their partners in the supply chains. Regression analysis revealed that safety (0.339) and labour rights (0.601) contribute to both short term and long term performance for the supply chain. While ethical practices have a positive impact on short term performance welfare initiatives only provide long term qualitative benefits. SCSS is in evolving concept and adopting the right mix of factors can help firms to achieve sustainability in all three dimensions of the triple-bottom-line framework (People Planet and Profit).

The impact of climate change including fires droughts and storms on natural resources and agricultural output is increasing. In addition to these problems resource depletion and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions agriculture also contributes to global warming. To reduce the dangers of climate change farmers are using sustainable practices. This article aims to link agri-food 4.0 technology with climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to lessen the two-way interaction (both affecting and impacted) between the agricultural sector and global warming as well as dangers related to the agri-food business. In light of this information the research methodology of the paper is twofold. Initially related risks towards climate change and the CSA and agri-food 4.0 technologies to overcome these risks were determined through a literature review. Then risks and technologies are evaluated by adopting the TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for Interactive and Multicriteria Decision Making) which is used for evaluating the criteria set with the related technologies to overcome climate change-related risks and provide a guiding map for academics and practitioners to eliminate risks associated with these climate change-related factors. According to the study's findings the highest-priority concerns in the agri-food industries that are connected to climate change include energy consumption food safety and GHG emissions. Internet of Things (IoT) bio-innovation and artificial intelligence are thought to be the most promising technological solutions to address these problems. © 2024 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
