Overview
Environmental,Social, and Governance (ESG) is now one of the top priorities for companies. Ithas recently received great attention from consumers, investors, andgovernments. ESG includes three dimensions, i.e., environmental, social, andgovernance. To be specific, the environmental dimension refers to operational eco-footprintsand sustainability practices, such as carbon emissions, sourcing and productionof materials, and waste (Ma et al. 2023; Tong et al. 2023); the socialdimension focuses on the effect that operational policies and practices have onemployees and the wider society, such as human rights, labor standards, andcommunity impact (Kumar et al. 2021; Shen et al. 2024); the governancedimension refers to how well regulatory obligations and compliance demands,such as bribery, corruption, and board diversity, are met by the organization (Daiand Tang 2022; Klassen et al. 2023).

Special issue information:
------------
The consideration of ESG factors is becoming an integral part of business. Due to the business environment and mandatory legitimation, most listed companies have established various ESG goals and released ESG reports annually. ESG reporting is an organization’s public disclosure of its corporate ESG data. ESG reporting aims to inform on the organization’s ESG process improvement, product innovation activities, and sustainability performance so that stakeholders, such as investors, consumers, and NGOs, can make better-informed decisions.

ESG is crucial for operations and supply chain management (Dai and Tang 2022). ESG is different from corporate social responsibility (CSR). The former focuses on measurability and the latter focuses on accountability (Chan et al. 2020; Dai and Tang 2022). ESG issues influence logistics and supply chain management. Supply chains and operations affect ESG performance. Supply chains are traditionally opaque, and firms often do not have visibility in the upstream and downstream supply chain members (Caro et al. 2018; Ha et al. 2023). ESG supply chain management refers to assessing suppliers’ ESG practices, ensuring they align with their values and standards (Fang and Cho 2020; Cao et al. 2023). This includes ensuring suppliers use environmentally friendly materials and processes, treat workers fairly, and follow ethical business practices.

This special issue aims to publish high-quality theoretical and empirical papers addressing ESG in logistics and supply chain challenges. We seek research works that employ analytical and quantitative empirical methods (e.g., optimization, game theoretical approach, empirically grounded analytics, simulation, surveys, event studies, and so on). Original, high-quality research that has neither been published nor is currently under review by other journals is welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
