dc.description.abstractWho is this book for? In this Preface we give a quick introduction to the objectives and intended audience of the book, the guiding principles we adopted in assembling it, and its structure. In the Introduction (Chap. 1 , by Bouchery et al. 2017), we offer some more broader perspectives on the current and future state of sustainability in supply chains. Sustainability is increasingly seen as a supply chain issue, not something that a single fi rm can deal with effectively. Several authors have produced review articles on sustainable supply chains, as well as special issues of journals, including Linton et al. (2007), Srivastava (2007), and Seuring and Müller (2008). Reviews on sustainable operations, often including some discussion of supply chains, include Angell and Klassen (1999), Kleindorfer et al. (2005), and Corbett and Klassen (2006). Several books with similar titles have also appeared, each with their own focus. Some are aimed primarily at practitioners, such as Greening the Supply Chain , edited by Sarkis (2006); Sustainable Supply Chains: Models, Methods, and Public Policy Implications , edited by Boone et al. (2012); Sustainable Supply Chain Management: Practical Ideas for Moving Towards Best Practice , edited by Cetinkaya et al. (2010); Green Supply Chains: An Action Manifesto by Emmett and Sood (2010); and Green Supply Chain Management: Product Life Cycle Approach by Wang and Gupta (2011). The book on Green Logistics: Improving the Environmental Sustainability of Logistics , edited by McKinnon et al. (2010), focuses more in depth on logistics rather than on supply chains in the broader sense of the word.en_US
