How Companies Respond to Environmental Challenges

Using twenty scholarly articles provided by Professor Jinsun Bae, information will be extracted using a literature review form which will aid in Jinsun’s larger project. Her project examines corporate responses to labor and environmental issues as reported in journal articles of the past twenty years across various social science disciplines. My literature reviews aim to answer the following question in recent studies published between 2018 and 2023: How do companies respond to environmental challenges in global supply chains? The findings were that companies are encountering a range of environmental issues. Every industry that was analyzed encountered some sort of environmental issue. Companies adopted several strategies to deal with these environmental challenges, including green supply chain management, partnering with NGOs such as research groups and universities, waste management and recycling, and the adoption of sustainable or alternative materials during the production process.
