“…A multi-objective model of optimization, which offers a comprehensive method of maximizing sustainability through all three pillars, was introduced in [19]. This article provides a strategy for optimizing the supply chain networks that includes economic, environmental, and social sustainability as three pillars of sustainability.…”

In recent years, both sustainability and optimization concepts have become inseparable developing topics with diverse concepts, elements, and aspects. The principal goal of optimization is to improve the overall sustainability including the environmental sustainability, social sustainability, economic sustainability, and energy resources sustainability through satisfying the objective functions. Therefore, applying optimization algorithms and methods to achieve the sustainable development have significant importance. This paper represents a considerable review on the employed optimization methodologies to sustainability and the sustainable development including sustainable energy, sustainable buildings, and sustainable environment. Since energy optimization is one of the major necessities of sustainability, sustainable development is investigated from the energy perspective. In addition, the concept, definitions, and elements of the sustainability and optimization have been presented, and the review of the optimization metaheuristic algorithms used in recent published articles related to sustainability and sustainable development was carried out. Thus, it is believed that this paper can be appropriate, beneficial, and practical for students, academic researchers, engineers, and other professionals.

“…Some other scholars (Miles & Covin, 2000;Roslender & Hart, 2002) also are of the view that incorporating environmental sustainability strategies gives an organization a competitive benefit, thus, making it a proceeding debate. For instance, past studies show that green product and/or green process innovations are positively related with achieving competitive advantage (Bhinge et al, 2015;Sharma & Vredenburg, 1998). Furthermore, farsighted environmental strategy involves the execution of strategic procedures like the research and creation of environmental friendly products and recycling systems (Moser, 2015).…”

There is therefore the necessity to add to existing literature in providing a link between SSCM and competitive advantage.…”

Sustainability issues have been on the rise due to negative impacts of organizational practices on the environment. The logistics sector has been known as a major contributor in polluting and consuming enormous amount of resources. This study therefore aims to provide insight into how sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) influences performance of organizations operating in the logistics sector. This study went further to focus on the intermediary function of competitive advantage in the SSCM and organizational performance relationship. Questionnaires were distributed to solicit information from 190 logistics managers. Data were analysed using partial least square method of structural equation modelling. Analysis of the data indicates that SSCM significantly and positively influence competitive advantage and organizational performance. In addition, competitive advantage also proved to significantly influence organizational performance. Competitive advantage indirectly has a significant impact on the SSCM and organizational performance relationship. The findings of the study provide key information to managers and academics in understanding the essence of integrating sustainability in supply chain management (SCM) and how the integration influences organizational performance in the current business and industrial setting.

“…Abdallah et al [60], meanwhile, studied greenhouse gas emissions as a result of network selection and design of supply chains through the use of a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. Bhinge et al [61] developed an optimization supply chain network design model, with the goal of maximizing the three main components of sustainability-social, environmental, and economic. The social indicator was used for health and safety, which encompassed both community and worker safety.…”

A research model using the market price for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions illustrates how the policies, and economic and environment implications of the carbon price can be formulated using a deterministic equilibrium model. However, with increasing carbon costs, the optimal reverse supply chain (RSC) system is being required to adapt and has undergone many distinct shifts in character as it seeks out new configurations through which costs may be effectively managed and minimized. The model was studied comprehensively in terms of quantitative performance using orthogonal arrays. The results were compared to top-down estimates produced through economic input-output life cycle assessment (EIO-LCA) models, providing a basis to contrast remanufacturing GHG emission quantities with those realized through original equipment manufacturing operations. Introducing a carbon cost of $40/t CO2e increased modeled remanufacturing costs by 2.7%, but also increased original equipment costs by 2.3%. The research presented in this study puts forward the theoretical modeling of optimal RSC systems and provides an empirical case study concerning remanufactured appliances, an area of current industrial literature in which there is a dearth of study.
