This study presents an integrated framework using real operational data to quantify and reduce Scope 3 emissions in a medium-scale steel supply chain in India. The Electric Arc Furnace is identified as the dominant hotspot (>90% of emission…

Wong , Eugene Yin Cheung, Wei, Ran, Ling, Kev Kwok Tung +1

This paper proposes an RNN-based optimization model to reduce Scope 3 transport emissions in global supply chains. Applied to the polo shirt industry, it compares EU and Asia-Pacific (AP) routes, finding AP reduces emissions by 73.8% (0.008…

Canal Vieira, Leticia, Longo, Mariolina, Mura, Matteo

This study analyzes how boundary-spanning functions as a mechanism for constructing shared responsibility in Scope 3 emissions management. Using longitudinal data from 31 European manufacturing firms, it finds that supply chain complexity c…
