“…The literature review shows that the functioning of the supply chain is not only measured through business, it is also measured through its impact on the environment and the social system. Therefore, if the supply chain is completely sustainable, it will not cause net damages to the ecosystems or social systems, and at the same time, it will bring profits for the long term [10,11]. The SCM literature has increasingly addressed sustainability challenges in supply over the last two decades.…”

The sector of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) plays a key role in the economies of all of the countries in the world. These entities constitute the basis for the development of the national and global economies. In a contemporary complex and competitive business environment, the adaptation of appropriate strategies is a particularly important effort to furthering the development of companies from the SMEs sector. In this context, the application of the concept of sustainable supply chain management (SCM) in the operation strategy of SMEs seems to be a very important function. This supply chain also covers all three aspects of sustainable development: business, environmental, and social. The purpose of this article is to present the current state of the research in sustainable development in relation to managing the supply chain of SMEs, as well as the empirical findings in this area. The results found that all of the sustainability areas were very important in the supply chain management practices of the studied SMEs, despite the imbalance described in the literature. The study also presents the most important elements in the particular sustainability areas of SCM and SMEs.

“…The issues on digitalization of business activity in the pharmaceutical industry were studied by many foreign and Russian scientists (Geissinger, Laurell, Sandström, Eriksson, & Nykvist, 2019;Jirásek, 2017;Kraus, Roig-Tierno, & Bouncken, 2019;Niño-Amézquita, Legotin, & Barbakov, 2017;Andosova, 2019;Ivanova, Poltarykhin, Szromnik, & Anichkina, 2019;Yalmaev, Shalaev, Giyazov, & Tashkulova, 2020;Evstratov, Ezangina, & Novozhenina, 2019, and others). The main questions posed by these authors are the importance of rapid digitalization of the industry, prerequisites for its implementation and possible consequences of such a modernization.…”

“…The social aspect means compliance with human rights, labor laws, and safety-at-work rules. If the GSC is completely sustainable, it will not cause damage to ecosystems or social systems and, at the same time, it will bring profits in the long term [28,29]. Presently, several articles have criticized the above-mentioned limited interpretation of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL).…”

Presently, an increasing human population, customer consumption, and global market competition result in the reduction of natural resources and growing environmental damage. Therefore, the current practice in the use of resources is not sustainable. The production companies have to focus not only on cost-effective and profitable operation, but at the same time environmentally friendly and sustainable production in order to increase competitiveness. New innovative technologies are required, improving the efficiency of the processes and the optimization of global supply chains (GSC) in order to establish sustainability in environmental, social, and economic aspects. The aim of the study is the GSCs’ optimization, which means forming the optimal combination of the chain members (suppliers, final assemblers, service providers) to achieve cost-effective, time-effective, and sustainable operation. This study introduces an elaborated single- and multi-objective optimization method, including the objective functions (cost, lead time) and design constraints (production and service capacities; volume of inventories; flexibility and sustainability of the chain members). Based on the elaborated method, software has been developed for the optimization of sustainable GSCs. The significance and novelty of the developed method and software is that the chain members have been required to fulfill the sustainability design constraint built into the software. A real case study is introduced, for the optimal design of a sustainable GSC, to confirm that our developed optimization method and software can be applied effectively in practice for the optimization of both profitable and sustainable GSCs.
