| Abstract | Purpose - This study aims to provide a comprehensive framework for Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) by integrating environmental, social, economic, and technological dimensions to bridge theoretical and practical gaps. Design/methodology/approach - Using the PRISMA methodology, a systematic review of 133 articles from the Scopus database was conducted, with qualitative analysis examining criteria such as SSCM, emerging technologies, and sustainability. Results - The results reveal that SSCM drivers include government policies, stakeholder pressure, environmental concerns, and managerial commitment, while challenges encompass high costs, technological complexity, and data scarcity. Technologies like blockchain and IoT enhanced transparency and efficiency. Practical implications - The study offers industry-specific solutions and support for SMEs in developing economies, though future research on resilience and social sustainability metrics is needed. |
