Abstract Global agrifood supply chains are under increasing pressure to address sustainability issues due growing concerns. However, numerous organizations within the industry struggling incorporate sustainable chain management practices and Therefore, this research is designed identify key critical factors, such as drivers, enablers, barriers adopting practices. This study considers Ethiopian coffee industry, which an important sector not only for economy but also global chain.

ABSTRACT Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) principles and practices contribute to achieving the Development Goals (SDG). However, role of Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) tools how they can strengthen achievement SSCM‐oriented SDG has been little explored. This study aims review literature that intersects themes SSCM, SDG, LCT investigate in SDG. The dynamic capabilities (DC) perspective is theoretical lens understand organizations sense, seize, reconfigure resources address challenges changeable environments as sustainable supply chains require. A systematic supported by PRISMA protocol structured content analysis was conducted. results show be used evaluate environmental, social, economic aspects just one or impact categories each tool linked different evaluation contribution SSCM using occurs two ways: (i) assessments analyze qualitatively; (ii) linking (midpoint endpoint) indicators from directly specific indicators, goals, which makes assessment clearer. provide information improve 17 DC help achieve an analytical for requires further investigation. To this end, a research agenda proposed.

ABSTRACT The goal is to maintain routine operations without negatively impacting the natural environment. It about improving operational efficiency while reducing costs and enhancing environmental responsibility. study aims examine key drivers contributing successful implementation of sustainable supply chain practices in India's manufacturing industry. identifies 10 primary that influence adoption sustainability manufacturing. These are based on expert opinions scientific research. To determine relative importance these drivers, uses gray relational analysis (GRA) within a multi‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) framework. This technique used analyze rank when there uncertainty or vagueness, making it ideal for assessing drivers. study's findings can help participants (manufacturers, suppliers, etc.) prioritize organize actions integrate into their operations.

Scenarios importance CCS process transformation systems Poland. Union’s states, which require development appropriate technological solutions. research presented here analyses transformation. This article proposes adapting method to structure mix conditions prevailing a specific country. Poland was adopted as an example for analysis due its exceptionally complicated situation, taking into account production. For this purpose, expert opinion survey conducted. Both measurable variables, such volume CO2 emissions EU ETS prices, qualitative variable, i.e., impact political environment on CCS, introduced constructed model. model allowed us construct three scenarios describing alternative visions future CCS: optimistic, pessimistic, neutral, different can develop. use fuzzy sets eliminate serious drawback planning based knowledge, is subjectivity their judgments. showed stable predictable legal regulations crucial application Polish sector. prepared enable quick response accurate decisions under various turbulent environment. facilitate preparation strategies. indicate what combinations given environmental conditions, great transformation, when it may give way other technologies.
