Building Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chains in Global Manufacturing

Authors: Khatana Junaid Ahmed

Abstract: The article presents a theoretical analysis of the integration of climate resilience and sustainability in global manufacturing supply chains. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses risk management, sustainable development, digital transformation, and institutional economics. Particular attention is given to the classification of destabilizing factors at both factory and network levels, as well as the analysis of operational adaptation strategies such as agility, redundancy, collaboration, and closed-loop systems. The mechanisms of their impact on economic, environmental, and social performance indicators, defined by the triple bottom line concept, are examined. The article highlights the results of comparing typical trade-offs between environmental costs and socio-economic benefits when integrating sustainability and resilience into closed-loop supply chains. It is demonstrated that digital technologies, including digital twins, distributed ledgers, and generative algorithms, serve as a bridge between strategic planning and operational practice, linking corporate initiatives with international climate objectives such as Net Zero 2050. The author formulates the position that comprehensive implementation of sustainable operational measures, combined with political support, is a key condition for the development of climate-oriented global supply chains. The article will be useful for researchers in supply chain management, sustainability specialists, digital solution developers, and practitioners working with climate risks and production system transformation.
