Abstract

This study provides a systematic review and analyzes the development trends of research topics related to Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and business performance. Using bibliometric analysis of 501 scientific articles published between 2006 and 2024 from the Web of Science database, combined with VOSviewer software, the study identified seven key clusters of keywords, reflecting prominent themes such as sustainability factors and consumer behavior, technological innovation, performance and competitive advantage, sustainable business models, and risks in the supply chain. The results reveal a growing academic interest in integrating sustainability principles into supply chain management as a crucial factor for enhancing business performance and competitiveness amid globalization and the dynamic business environment.
