Due to the importance of sustainability issues facing our society, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners globally. Effective adoption of SSCM practices can potentially lead to the creation of sustainable supply chain that is well aligned with the Sustainable Development principle that encourages ethical and responsible actions by all parties in meeting the present needs to ensure that the ability of future generations to meet their needs will not be compromised. SSCM practices require a set of capabilities which are enabled by information technologies and systems. However, SSCM practices and the enabling technologies and systems are inter-organisational in nature which complicate their adoption. Therefore, the adoption rate of SSCM practices and the related technologies has been low. Several implications to research and practice in SSCM, as well as future research directions are highlighted.
