The Sustainable Supply Chain Management implemented at our university integrates economic and social dimensions with environmental aspects. In the economic dimension of sustainability in supply chains, cost minimization, improvement of product quality and delivery times, reduction of workforce turnover, and benefits such as profit are prioritized. In the environmental dimension, efforts are made to reduce environmental costs, find innovative methods to deal with waste issues, and minimize waste throughout the supply chain, including hazardous chemicals, emissions, energy, and solid waste.
