This report on sustainable supply chains in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region outlines the evolving landscape of global supply chains, driven by the increasing integration of international trade and the pressing need for environmental sustainability. While global supply chains have been associated with economic growth, concerns have also been raised about their environmental impacts, particularly with regard to carbon emissions. In this context, regulatory initiatives and shifting consumer expectations are among the factors encouraging consideration of more sustainable practices.
