        abstract = {As the global economy grows more interconnected, supply chain management's mandate has profoundly shifted from focusing purely on cost efficiency and logistics to holistically integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This research paper explores the core strategies employed in modern Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), driven by escalating regulatory and market pressures. The analysis details the adoption of integrated frameworks, focusing on the transition to closed loop systems, such as the Circular Economy (CE), which provides both environmental benefits and enhanced operational resilience.
Crucially, the paper examines how advanced digital technologies specifically the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Blockchain serve as essential enablers for achieving mandatory traceability, transparency, and effective Scope 3 emissions reduction through deep supplier engagement. Finally, the study addresses the critical challenge of managing interconnected geopolitical and climate risks, advocating for integrated risk governance and scenario analysis to bolster long term supply chain resilience.},
