Abstract: Supply chain resilience (SCR) has emerged as a critical focus in response to the increasing frequency of global disruptions, including pandemics, geopolitical tensions, and climate change. This study explores the integration of resilience strategies with sustainability performance metrics to address these disruptions and enhance long-term supply chain performance. A conceptual framework is proposed, emphasizing resilience strategies such as flexibility, redundancy, and digital transformation, aligned with sustainability indicators like carbon footprint reduction, resource efficiency, and social responsibility. Case studies from disrupted supply chains, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, are used to analyze the impact of resilience on sustainability. The findings reveal syner- gies between resilience strategies and sustainability metrics, demonstrating that collaborative and adaptive supply chain practices not only mitigate risks but also contribute to sustainable development goals. However, trade-offs, such as increased environmental costs due to redundancy, are noted, underscoring the need for energy-efficient practices. The study offers actionable insights for practitioners, advocating for digital transformation, multisourcing, and stakeholder collaboration as pathways to enhance resilience and achieve sustainability. Theoretical contributions include bridging the gap between resilience and sustainability while enriching systems theory and the triple bottom line framework. Future research directions are proposed to address gaps in sustainability measurement, focusing on advanced analytics and the social dimensions of supply chain management.
