Towards development of measurement index for supply chain sustainability
Abstract
The subject of sustainability is gaining significance in the study of the supply chain. Sustainability is becoming very important in securing a better future for both the operation of the supply chain and the planet. This paper focuses on developing a supply chain sustainability measurement system by exploring fundamental properties of the supply chain sustainability index and devising methods to assess sustainability at various levels. To gain a comprehensive global perspective, the paper employs the multi-regional input-output model to analyse the supply chain's impact beyond its immediate geography. Ultimately, the paper proposes a standardised and generic supply chain sustainability index that can facilitate comparisons across different supply chains.
