Sustainable Supply Chains and Carbon Footprint Reduction explores how blockchain technology enables greener, more accountable supply chains by improving traceability, reducing inefficiencies and offering real-time visibility into resource use and carbon emissions.

This book examines how blockchain creates secure, tamper-proof records of supply chain activities, helping industries track products from origin to consumption while ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Through real-world case studies and practical strategies, it highlights blockchain's role in driving sustainable practices across sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, logistics and energy.

Designed for business leaders, sustainability professionals and policymakers, this book provides actionable insights for leveraging blockchain to meet climate goals and support circular economy initiatives and demonstrates how digital innovation and sustainability can work together to create transparent, resilient and environmentally responsible supply chains.
