Abstract

Due to the importance of supply chain sustainability and risk management issues in various industries and the environment, the purpose of this study is to identify the supply chain sustainability and risk management issues in various industries, which are in the economic, social and environmental spheres. Finally, an attempt has been made to summarize models and supply chain sustainability factors. In this review study, which conducted in 2018, the articles indexed in Proquest, Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Ovid, Irandoc, Iranmedex, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, Cochrane, Springer, Google Scholar, Scopus. The research papers included 75 papers (from 19 different countries) that included qualitative and quantitative research in the last 15 years (since 2003) in Persian and English. Researches with sample size and unspecified execution or only on risk management or supply chain were excluded from the study. Also, the papers without full text also excluded from the study. Research findings suggest that the prevalence of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes throughout supply chains and the various economic, social and environmental hazards in various industries has led to the need to seek solutions to provide whatever Better service is emphasized. However, qualitative research has been very limited in this regard. The results indicate that the knowledge about sustainability management in different industries and risk control has been scientifically low. Given the low level of knowledge and knowledge required at different levels of sustainability in the supply chain as well as risk management in supply chain stability, informing the industrial community, especially those industries that are somehow involved with this problem, are one of the most important plans that can First of all, understanding and achieving more appropriate risk management practices in supply chain stability will improve in the future. It also seems sought to provide a solution to increase the attention of authorities. In order to achieve this, relevant benchmarking needs to be made so that appropriate and appropriate policies are taken into account, thereby helping to promote and improve the sustainability of the industrial supply chain.
