Modern supply chains operate in conditions of increasing complexity and uncertainty, resulting from both dynamic technological changes and increasing regulatory requirements. Companies must simultaneously optimize their processes for efficiency and costs, minimize risk and adapt to new ESG standards that are changing the way supply chains operate. This requires modern management tools, strategic decisions based on data and financing models that enable the implementation of solutions consistent with the principles of sustainable development.This book provides insights into how modern supply chains are evolving and why it matters to businesses, policymakers, and society at large. Contributors address the key challenges facing modern supply chains, from the rapid development of technologies - such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation - revolutionizing the way logistics and operations are managed, to increasing regulatory requirements and social pressure for sustainable development forcing companies to adapt their strategies to stricter environmental and ethical standards. The book also explores the financing of sustainable supply chains, expanding how financial instruments such as green bonds, ESG funds and public-private partnerships can support logistics transformation in the face of new environmental standards.Combining theoretical foundations and practical insights, this edited collection is valuable source of knowledge for researchers and advanced students of logistics and operations management in particular.
