Abstract
Implementing sustainable environmental and social practices in supply chains is not an easy task. This article presents the results of research on practices supporting sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) in the field of environmental protection and social protection. The article provides insight into current trends observed in practical experience, prevention, and environmental and social protection in sustainable supply chains (SSC). In the research, a systematic review of published case studies was conducted using the PRISMA framework. The systematic review identified a set of 118 publications. In the research, six main thematic categories of published case studies related to the nature of the SC were recognised. For each thematic category, four groups of environmental and social practices were identified that support SSCM. Some of the highlighted practices are universal and comprehensive, occurring in every characterised supply chain. This presents a novelty compared to other available scientific works on similar topics. The study results can influence the experience of supply chain managers and contribute to improving the well-being of both the environment and society.
