Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enhancing the performance
of many sectors and enterprises, including green supply chain management. Innovative
technologies include machine learning, IoT, and big data. AI in the manufacturing
industry aims to utilise automation in production processes, better planning and
forecasting, and quality products. Small and medium enterprises play a significant role
in reducing carbon emissions, which has turned out to be an even more vital factor for
the manufacturing industry in the past two decades. Supply chain management is one
of the manufacturing’s utmost areas demanding a change. Sustainable procurement
enables firms to access resource recycling, efficient production, channel distribution,
and end consumption to lessen their environmental impact. The 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development (2015) is a well-thought-out synthesis of discussion that
establishes sustainable growth as a critical issue for the global community. The
accomplishment of sustainable goals makes it essential to develop a system of practice.
This is especially important for India, which has a history of high labour intensity and
industrialization. This review paper will analyse the future outlook of the market for
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in GSCM and green sustainability.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Green Supply Chain Management, Green sustainability, SMEs.
