The purpose of this book is to offer practitioners and students a set of best practices for sustainable and responsible management of supply chains to meet the ecological and societal transition. It has been designed to facilitate the appropriation of tools by actors and their implementation in companies. 

In this book, we have chosen to talk about the sustainable and responsible supply chain. This terminology may seem out of sync or even redundant if we compare it with the numerous expressions that qualify the evolution of supply chains towards more ecology, more transparency, more circularity and more Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

This choice is justified by a desire to clearly support our statement on the three pillars of sustainable development, economic, ecological and social, while not privileging any of them to the detriment of the other two. 

The good practices presented in this book are classified into 9 themes, themselves organized around 4 parts

  • Structuring your upstream supply chain (chapter 1: Eco-design; chapter 2: Buying sustainably and responsibly)
  • Optimizing the internal supply chain (chapter 3: Sustainable management; chapter 4: Sustainable storage)
  • Deploying the downstream supply chain (chapter 5: Sustainable packaging; chapter 6: Implementing reverse logistics; chapter 7: Sustainable transport)
  • Having a holistic approach (chapter 8: Certifying your supply chain; chapter 9: Improving your performance)
