Sustainable supply chain development in Vietnam in the context of the post-Covid-19 pandemic
Published: July 22, 2026
Abstract
The last twenty years have seen the use of green economy and sustainable development strategies across a variety of industries, including supply chain management. Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is becoming more and more popular in industrialized nations, both in academic and practical business aspects. The Covid-19 pandemic had caused challenges for both domestic and foreign supply chains. This study analyzes Vietnam's current supply chain in the context of the post-Covid-19 pandemic. The study also proposed some solutions to encourage Vietnam's supply chain to develop in a sustainable manner.
