Analysis of enablers for the adoption of blockchain for net-zero supply chain
In response to India's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emission by 2070, supply chain researchers and practitioners are keen to transform their conventional supply chain into net-zero supply chain (NZSC). Digitalisation of the supply chain such as the use of blockchain technology (BCT) is one strategy to reduce carbon emissions of the supply chain. Despite its potential and years of fanfare, BCT is yet to gain widespread recognition and adoption. Fifteen blockchain adoption enablers for NZSC have been identified based on an extensive literature review. Further, the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is used for ranking identified enablers based on multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM). The results showed that 'transparency and traceability' are the most critical enablers for implementing BCT for NZSC. This research has also recommended many theoretical and managerial implications for future research in this field.
