Linking sustainability and smartness: opportunities and challenges of emerging technologies for sustainability in supply chains
Beschreibung:
This research project explores the effects of digital technologies on the sustainability of supply chains, encompassing environmental, social, and economic aspects. Specifically, we focus on the opportunities and challenges of technology adoption for sustainability in supply chains based on expert opinion. Furthermore, we investigate how mandated sustainability reporting directives, such as the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive, have accelerated and changed the use of digital technologies in supply chain management. Drawing from the insights of experts in supply chain management, we analyze the potential opportunities but also challenges linked to different digital technologies on the sustainability of supply chains.
