Challenges for Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chains

In this third chapter, the most important focus will be on building resilient chains and mitigating risks associated with 3BL implementation. One whole chapter is devoted to this phenomenon, due to the fact that this type of chain strategy is to be part of modeling of sustainable supply chain 2.0. Risk is an extremely important element in the chain and ways to manage it. We have indicated the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine in terms of considering and managing risk. This element is now determining the creation of new strategies and has led to a redefinition not only of supply chain thinking but also of the possibility of implementing defensive tools and mechanisms. A novelty that has not yet been described in the literature will be the description of the new Sustainable Supply Chain Resilience concept that is, the inclusion in a sustainable supply chain strategy of the necessary elements that support, but also cause, a lack of resilience.
