Abstract
This special volume explores topics related to green and sustainable supply chain management (GSSCM) in platform economies. This article aims to provide an overview by dividing these topics into six groups: (1) platform-based GSSCM, (2) technological innovations supporting GSSCM in the platform economy, (3) data-driven sustainable development of the supply chain, (4) influencing factors of supply chain management (SCM), (5) coping with disruptions in SCM, and (6) data-driven medical SCM. Considering the urgency of action required for environmental pollution, the most important research contributions are sustainable development and influencing factors of SCM in a platform economy. Some authors have explored implementation barriers, distribution channel choice, collaboration and lean management, water shortages, and remanufacturing as key aspects of GSSCM. Others have discussed aspects of sustainable development, such as waste discharge prediction, efficiency evaluation, sustainability indexes, and collaborative logistics networks, while others have investigated the factors influencing SCM, such as green management, stakeholder motives, cause marketing, online consumer reviews, and public concerns. Their findings can serve as a reference for policymakers and business decision makers to promote GSSCM practices. However, many additional challenges must be overcome to successfully implement GSSCM.
