Abstract: Due to increasing concerns about the environment, potential economic benefits and legislation pressure; supply chain management has changed to focus on the environmental impacts of production and Earth resource preservation. Therefore, many managers are working hard on improving the sustainability of their supply chain systems. In this paper, we present the themes addressed, and the approaches used in this special issue to investigate the design and optimization of sustainable supply chain systems. Firstly, we introduce the topics under investigation, and then we present the published articles to discuss the benefits of sustainable supply chain systems in raising profits and improving ecology. This issue increases our knowledge of the sustainable supply chain systems design and sustainable strategies.
