ABSTRACT
Sustainable halal supply chain systems are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic in business. Some factors such as product stewardship, supplier management, production management, and logistics management influence the sustainable halal supply chain. Several pieces of literature concerning sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) are available from a global perspective, but very few have focused on this aspect from an Islamic viewpoint. This chapter aims to establish the principles of SSCM from an Islamic perspective. Additionally, this chapter elaborates on the applications and current activities of SSCM in relevant industries. It has adopted a theoretical approach for SSCM identified by mainly literature review. This chapter is also developed conceptually and applies a quantitative research method to test hypotheses. Data are collected through a questionnaire survey among suppliers. This chapter has provided systematic insights and a theoretical approach to the compatibility and applicability of Islamic Shari’ah principles in SSCM to improve the overall performance of this sector. Finally, the chapter will assist policymakers and academicians in discovering strategies to combat this significant phenomenon in the activities of the sustainable supply chain in Malaysia.
