What the paper says

Due to increasing global political and economic uncertainties and awakening public awareness caused by drastic climate change in recent years, stakeholders are increasingly demanding sustainability and robustness in supply chains. During the pandemic, supply chains experienced multiple pressures, particularly for products in high demand such as food and medical supplies. In this context, researchers have devoted attention to sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and supply chain risk management (SCRM). That made these two research fields have many intersections, but currently there is no literature discussing the similarities and differences between the two, and there is no definitive definition of the nexus between the two. This study makes a novel contribution by executing a structured literature review of 65 articles related to SSCM and SCRM published between 2007 and 2025, conducting descriptive and thematic analyses to explore the interface between them, developing a theoretical framework, identifying key lessons for practitioners and illuminating future research directions.
