I am pleased to share that my joint paper, "Green Supply Chain Management and Organizational Performance in an Emerging Market," has been published in the Int. J. of Innovation Science (an Emerald's Q1 Scopus-indexed journal).

Join us for a Paper Development Workshop on Envisioning Supply Chains in a Post-Growth Era on December 5-6, 2024 (both online and in London). This event will explore the important yet underexplored area of post-growth supply chain management, with discussions on how global supply chains can be redesigned to prioritize environmental sustainability and societal well-being over growth. Do not miss this opportunity to engage with our guest editors (Davide Luzzini, Joe Miemczyk, Veronica Devenin, Annachiara Longoni, and Bobby Banerjee) and develop your research ideas for submission to a special issue of JSCM.

I am pleased to share my insights on the #challenges of “Green Supply Chain Management and Integrated Planning“ at the University of Technology Częstochowa. 💥 As a Professor of Technology Transfer at bbw Hochschule on behalf of our supply chain group, It was a rewarding experience to discuss the complexities of #integratedplanning within the context of a #green #supply #chain, highlighting key components that industries must consider. 🤝I am grateful to Professor Agnieszka Wójcik- Czerniawska for inviting me and providing the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in this field at the conference. 🌟The discussion underscored the importance of integrating #green principles into #supply #chain #planning, emphasizing the need to address both #environmental and #logistical aspects. #greensupplychain, #integratedplanning, #supplychainchallanges, #greenpackaging, #greenlogistics

🌟 Featured in Supply Chain Brain’s ESG Guide 🌟 Learn how to transform your operations to ensure Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance! 🌱 Read the SupplyChainBrain 2024 ESG Guide, which features insights from experts across the industry. In my article, "Meeting Customer Demand and ESG Targets with One Strategy: Nearshoring," I discuss how nearshoring meets customer demands and significantly contributes to ESG goals, setting a robust foundation for supply chain resilience. As the demand for nearshoring has surged post-pandemic, it has proven essential for reducing carbon emissions, utilizing alternative fuels, minimizing inventory waste 🚯, and enhancing adaptability in supply chain management. I invite you to read the full article (on page 21) to understand how strategic changes in trade routes and operational models are not just a trend but a transformation toward sustainable excellence. 🌍 #SupplyChainManagement #ESG #Nearshoring #Sustainability #Resilience #NetZero #GebrüderWeiss #GWmoves #SupplyChainBrain https://lnkd.in/g7jqvyRX

🌍🚛 New Paper Published: Sustainbale Supply Chain Management 🚂🌱 I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my latest research, [Achieving Economic and Environmental Sustainability with Supply Chain Contracts ] by the leading journal Production and Operations Management #POMJournal. This study tackles one of the most pressing challenges of our time: How to decarbonize freight transportation, the largest source of carbon emissions among supply chain activities. 🔑 Key Insights from the Paper: 1️⃣One of the key strategies for reducing carbon emissions is transitioning freight transportation to more sustainable modes, such as shifting from truck to rail. 2️⃣However, green transport modes typically rely on economies of scale.  They become economically viable—and capable of saving both costs and emissions—only when freight volumes are sufficiently large. 3️⃣To enable firms to harness these benefits, we developed novel supply chain contracting models that account for supply chain partners' strategic ordering behavior and trade-offs between costs, emissions, and flexibility of different transportation modes. 📊 We characterize the conditions for achieving win-win outcomes for both economic and environmental sustainability across the supply chains. 💡 Why This Matters: Our findings provide actionable insights for businesses looking to balance profitability with environmental sustainability—a growing necessity in today’s world. 📄 Read the Full Paper Here: https://lnkd.in/gb2aixsd A heartfelt thank to my collaborator Chuanwen Dong, as well as the reviewers and editor Jayashankar M.
