Future Trends in Social Sustainability in Manufacturing Supply Chains

Title

Future Trends in Social Sustainability in Manufacturing Supply Chains

Creator

Sinha, Ashmita; Jha, Babita

Description

The future approach to social sustainability in the manufacturing supply chains is determined by various factors such as changes in consumer trends, changes in laws and regulations and advancement in technology. Consumers will make sure that the social or environmental costs that come with products are mitigated and thus the organizations will be forced to embrace transparency and accountability in their operations. As the trend of more responsible and eco- friendly consumerism filters down, any manufacturer worth its salt will work to guarantee fair labor, wages and working conditions within their supply chains. At the same time, there will be expectations for the introduction of more strict social sustainability norms. Increased demand for supply chain disclosure policies, especially regarding labor and sourcing standards, will be developed by state and non- state actors towards manufacturers. This will lead to increased responsibility and adherence among sectors and more eco-friendly business practices across the world. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
