Summary: This paper explores the linkage between Global Production Networks (GPN) and (sustainable) supply chain management (SSCM), aiming to expand the theoretical foundations of SSCM by integrating the GPN approach. It identifies five central GPN constructs and compares them with SSCM, revealing the role of GPN in network and cluster formation, embeddedness effects, power relationships and governance mechanisms, and achieving ecological and social sustainability in supply chains. This selective comparison provides an enriched understanding and core directions for future research at the intersection of SSCM and GPN.

Summary: Supply chains are becoming more global but face increasing threats to continuity from disruptive events. Resilience-oriented policies and strategies have been enacted to ensure survival and growth. This study explores the individual and combined effects of engineering and socio-ecological approaches to long-term sustainability of supply chains. The findings reveal fragmented institutional communication regarding resilience and sustainability, despite synergy among actors in developing a framework for enhancing supply chain resilience. This study provides empirical insights into the relationship between resilience and sustainability, offering strategic approaches for companies to react to unexpected events.

Summary: This research explores the complexity of global multi-tier supply chains and proposes different mechanisms to effectively manage the sustainability of suppliers at different tiers. The findings suggest that duplicating institutional controls to lower-tier suppliers might not be effective, and fostering collaboration and guiding mechanisms could be more suitable. The research contributes to the literature on multi-tier sustainable supply chain management by highlighting the inherent complexities and offering insights for managers to effectively manage supplier relationships beyond their immediate visibility.

Summary: This article provides an overview of sustainable inventory management models in supply chains and proposes a roadmap for future research. The study reveals a lack of research on incorporating social sustainability into inventory management in supply chains, while environmental sustainability is a growing research area. Future studies should focus on incorporating uncertainty issues into sustainable inventory management models and integrating economic, environmental, and social sustainability decisions. Additionally, complex models and new algorithms and heuristics should be employed to address these issues effectively.

Summary: While the connection between tropical deforestation and palm oil is well established, tracking the consumption of palm oil back to its origin is a challenge. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification system, which aims to increase supply chain transparency and sustainability, has not shown a significant reduction in deforestation. This study used remote sensing and spatial analysis to assess the deforestation caused by oil palm plantation expansion in Guatemala and linked this to the palm oil supply chains of major conglomerates. Addressing deforestation and supply chain sustainability in Guatemala requires reforming RSPO policies, corporate tracking of supply chains, and strengthening forest governance.

Summary: This paper emphasizes the critical role of traders in sustainability governance, urging future research to focus on producer-level impacts, changes in supply chain organization and power dynamics, and traders' interactions with other actors. Research on traders as key sustainability governance actors provides opportunities for interdisciplinary work and stakeholder engagement at the intersection of supply chain management, political economy, geography, and global governance.

Summary: This paper examines the optimal financial hedging strategy and sustainable development in four different supply chain structures. It proposes the use of an index-based price contract to transfer risk from manufacturers to downstream retailers and achieve risk-sharing in the supply chain. The study discusses the optimal hedging strategy and the level of product sustainability in monopoly, monopoly with Nash bargaining, retailer competition, and manufacturer competition structures. The findings suggest a positive relationship between the hedge ratio and consumer preference for green products, while it is inversely related to green product research and development costs. Notably, in a manufacturer competition supply chain, slight fluctuations in input commodity prices significantly increase the profits of both manufacturers, but as the fluctuations continue to increase, one manufacturer's profit declines while the other's rises slowly. Furthermore, competition based on product sustainability negatively impacts manufacturers' and retailers' profits and reduces the overall level of sustainability.

Summary: Engaging with stakeholders and managing their issues in sustainable supply chain management is a significant challenge. This study enriches the theoretical debate by proposing stakeholder management practices based on a case study approach in bioenergy supply chains in Chile. The core of stakeholder management is two-way communication, but a true orientation towards stakeholders requires a willingness to learn and transform supply chain design.

Summary: This study analyzed sustainability reports from 25 leading companies in supply chain management and proposed a conceptual model consisting of four essential components: supply chain processes, relational mechanisms, monitoring and control mechanisms, and sustainability outcomes. The proposed model can help supply chain and sustainability managers improve their efforts towards sustainability by identifying the necessary components to manage each different supply chain and by creating more focused and effective strategies in different scenarios.

Summary: In this study, the mechanisms used by firms to ensure sustainability in multi-tier supply chains were investigated, and it was found that there were no major differences in terms of sustainability management efforts between the supply chain tiers. Lower-tier suppliers were shown to be active in the innovation and facilitation of supply chain sustainability. The responsibility of ensuring sustainability is often delegated to direct suppliers.

Summary: The emergence of blockchain technologies is transforming the management of traditional supply chains by enhancing traceability, accountability, and sustainability. However, the direct impact of blockchain technologies on supply chain sustainability is not significant, with the improvement in sustainability being largely attributed to supply chain integration and mapping facilitated by blockchain.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
