The Influence of Green Supply Chain Management Practices Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Green Sustainability

Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enhancing the performance of many sectors and enterprises, including green supply chain management. Innovative technologies include machine learning, IoT, and big data. AI in the manufacturing industry aims to utilise automation in production processes, better planning and forecasting, and quality products. Small and medium enterprises play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions, which has turned out to be an even more vital factor for the manufacturing industry in the past two decades. Supply chain management is one of the manufacturing’s utmost areas demanding a change. Sustainable procurement enables firms to access resource recycling, efficient production, channel distribution, and end consumption to lessen their environmental impact. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015) is a well-thought-out synthesis of discussion that establishes sustainable growth as a critical issue for the global community. The accomplishment of sustainable goals makes it essential to develop a system of practice. This is especially important for India, which has a history of high labour intensity and industrialization. This review paper will analyse the future outlook of the market for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in GSCM and green sustainability.
