This study seeks to elucidate the sustainable supply chain management practice within several industries all over the world by using the systematic literature review (SLR) method.

The current study is proposed to fill the gaps by reviewing the related prior research and, analytically, attaining more understanding in justifying the theme of the sustainability supply chain management practices by using the systematic literature review (SLR) approach.
