“…Efficient delivery to consumers worldwide is made possible by integration with international courier carriers. Real-time inventory tracking is made possible by online platforms, which benefit firms by streamlining their supply chains and lowering the possibility of overstocking or stockouts (Jayarathna, C. P., et al 2021) [25] .…”

This research paper explores the evolving landscape of electronic commerce (e-commerce) and its significant impact on contemporary business practices. This paper aims to analyze the key drivers, challenges, and trends associated with the growing prominence of e-commerce in the business world. E-commerce has changed how businesses operate globally by making it easier to reach new markets and expand internationally. Throughout its development from the 1960s to the present, significant events have occurred, including the dot-com boom, online shopping, and the incorporation of cuttingedge technologies. E-commerce has been boosted by mobile commerce, augmented reality, AI, and ML, which provide individualized experiences. In addition to addressing issues like cybersecurity and logistics, this industry promotes international trade, improves market analytics, and allows for cultural sensitivity. Mobile technologies have a significant impact on marketing strategy and consumer behavior. The growth of e-commerce is driven by sustainability and ethical consumerism, which requires businesses to take adaptable steps. The future calls for businesses to embrace agility and innovation in order to maintain their competitiveness. It promises better customer experiences through AI, VR, and sustainable practices.

“…By contrast, social issues are still scarcely addressed. Although the three dimensions of sustainability are equally important, most social indicators are qualitative and thus difficult to measure (Jayarathna, Agdas, Dawes & Yigitcanlar, 2021). Considering this pillar, the most frequently applied objectives include those related to the impact of maximizing the created job opportunities (Navazi, Sedaghat & Tavakkoli-Moghaddam, 2019;Ouhader & El-Kyal, 2017;Zhalechian, Tavakkoli-Moghaddam, Zahiri & Mohammadi, 2016) and those concerned with the aspects of equity among customers (Chang, Zhou, Chen & Chen, 2017) or workers (Galindres, Guimarães & Gallego-Rendón, 2023;Rabbani, Navazi, Farrokhi-Asl & Balali, 2018).…”

Purpose: Sustainability and resilience have emerged as two important topics. Consumers and governmental entities are becoming increasingly aware of the existing environmental and social issues, motivating companies to adopt more sustainable practices. In addition, the uncertainty and unpredictability that characterize today's competitive environment force companies to be able to handle disruptions efficiently. Despite this, when looking at some classes of problems in literature, cost is still the most, or even the only, objective addressed. This work analyses the integration of sustainability and resilience concerns in a class of problems that is often found in logistics, the Location-Routing Problem (LRP).Design/methodology/approach: A multi-objective LRP is addressed with the following objectives: minimization of the total cost of the logistics network, minimization of the environmental impact of CO2 emissions, and maximization of the resilience of the distribution network. Aiming to explore the effect that designing a more sustainable and resilient distribution network can have on its operating costs, the ?-constraint method is applied.Findings: Results show that resilience and environmental impacts, from a practical point of view, should not be considered in isolation, as they can have significant impacts on costs. Nevertheless, it is conceivable to design logistics networks that ensure a good compromise between operating costs, environmental impacts, and resilience to disruptions.Originality/value: This paper is an exploratory study addressing a new type of location-routing problem which, besides the usual cost objective, considers sustainability and resilience as objectives. The paper evaluates the sensitivity of the costs of logistics networks to the improvement of their resilience and sustainability. A new multi-objective formulation is proposed for this class of problems, tested in instances based on real-world data. The paper may provide important managerial insights for designing sustainable and resilient logistics networks.

“…The majority of models focused on minimizing or maximizing the social benefit from a social perspective. In terms of optimization approaches and solution methods, most optimization models are deterministic, and most research has employed classical optimization methods with meta-heuristic algorithms (Jayarathna et al 2021 ; Tavana et al 2022 ; Kumar et al 2022 ).…”

There is increasing attention to the sustainable development of supply chain (SC) and reverse logistics (RL) in the contemporary competitive economy, notably in the food sector, by scholars and stakeholders. This study investigates a sustainable closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) for fish due to its high value in the family food basket, its perishability, and the importance of waste product recycling. A multi-objective mathematical model is developed under uncertainty and sustainability criteria to optimize production rates with the aim of better distribution among different demand markets, total costs, social issues, and negative environmental effects (e.g., CO 2 emissions and unused/waste products). A combination of exact, meta-heuristic, and hybrid meta-heuristic algorithms are used to solve the suggested model. Then, the optimal solutions are found using the Taguchi method by evaluating the best initial replies. The solutions are evaluated based on various performance metrics. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the “filtering/displaced ideal solution” methods determine the best solution approach. Moreover, a case study with a trout CLSC in Northern Iran is examined. In addition, the Lingo software utilizes the ε-constraint method to evaluate and check the performance of the algorithms under different levels of uncertainty. Finally, sensitivity analyses are carried out to confirm the efficacy of the proposed algorithms. The findings demonstrate the proposed network’s outstanding consistency with the algorithms used and its application and efficiency.
