Greening the supply chain. Best practices for Azerbaijan

Greening supply chains involve adopting environmentally friendly practices to reduce ecological footprints while maintaining market competitiveness. This approach involves selecting the most appropriate supply chain management strategies and integrating technologies such as blockchain for greater transparency and efficiency. The prioritization of agricultural development in Azerbaijan makes green supply chain management (GSCM) crucial for achieving economic growth and protecting the environment. This study conducts a systematic review to analyze the current environmental challenges and the impact of traditional supply chain practices in Azerbaijan. It also highlights the benefits of GSCM, including environmental, economic and social advantages, while addressing complexities and cost implications. The findings highlight the importance of overcoming challenges such as high operating costs and insufficient demand for green products to achieve sustainable development in Azerbaijan.
