Abstract: Abstract The main objective of this chapter is to present and discuss the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM)Sustainable supply chain management concept by analysing the state of the art in research and practice and considering its future trends and developments. Managers need to develop a careful understanding of sustainabilitySustainability issues along their supply chains, both at strategic and operational levels. Leveraging on established frameworks developed in the SSCMSustainable supply chain management discipline, a comprehensive overview of the key supply chain processes and the variety of actors involved in sustainabilitySustainability initiatives is provided in order to discuss the complex challenge faced by companies in translating corporate sustainabilitySustainability strategiesStrategy into specific actions at the supply chain level, and in turn, influence performance from an economic, environmental and social perspective. This chapter adopts a specific focus on governanceGovernance, highlighting the need for collaborative approaches to develop more responsible supply chains. An in-depth example of Barilla—a leading company in implementing sustainabilitySustainability projects at the supply chain level—is presented to discuss these concepts.
