ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the impact of sustainable practices in food supply chains. Practices are identified from the literature and their implementation maturity level by companies is assessed. Through a systematic literature review, current best sustainable practices about supply chain management in the food industry are identified. Then, a questionnaire survey is administered to professionals, and the results are quantitatively analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Twenty-five best sustainable supply chain management practices are considered. Among these, some practices appear to be well established on both the academic and industrial sides, such as sustainable supplier management practices. On the contrary, other practices widely discussed in the literature, such as green shipping and distribution, or collaborative practices are still rarely adopted. Moreover, some practices appear to have a direct influence on the economic, environmental, and social dimensions a business should be accountable for. This work includes the point of view of professionals that are increasingly dealing with the sustainability issue.KEYWORDS: SustainabilitySupply Chain Management practicesfood industryliterature reviewsurvey Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

The coronavirus has had many effects on supply chains and logistics, most of which are negative. Due to the importance of logistics and supply chain in the world, any disruption or mismanagement causes many problems not only in the countries directly affected but also globally. In this article, new textual data are collected from reputable commercial and news websites related to the effects of COVID-19 on logistics and supply chains. After collecting textual data, valuable information about the impact of the coronavirus is extracted using various text mining techniques performed with R programming. Finally, issues related to COVID-19 and supply chains are identified and divided into five categories: suppliers and products, governments and organisations, health, evaluation, problems, and barriers. Also, categorising the problems and limitations of supply chains and logistics will provide managerial insights to minimise obstacles and disruptions. In particular, managers should consider several suppliers to reduce dependencies and also focus on domestic suppliers because of transportation limitations. Moreover, companies should pay attention to the health of societies and employ new policies, as well as pay attention to consumer behaviour such as their tendency to buy online.

ABSTRACTThe seriousness of climate change’s impact on people’s lives has compelled policymakers to create rules for businesses, aiming to limit their impact on the environment. Some companies decide to take the risk of breaking these rules instead of spending resources to follow them. In this study, we investigate the decision-making challenge that arises when a company interacts with a recycler. We expand the original model by including a second recycler. The company can decide to audit the recyclers or skip the audit and save resources. The recyclers can choose whether to follow environmental rules or not. The company wants to minimise costs, while the recyclers aim to maximise profits from recycling. We use game theory to represent how the company and the recyclers interact. The study’s findings reveal that adding the second recycler decreases the willingness of the first recycler to take risks and break environmental regulations.KEYWORDS: Supply chain managementgame theoryenvironmental regulationscircular economyincomplete data Disclosure statementThe author declare that they have no known conflict of interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.Notes1.
