   Environmentally Friendly Operations Management addresses the challenges of sustainability in all strategic decisions of operations: capacity management, supply network, process technology, and development and organization. This book expands the existing literature of operations management that for years has been crucial in creating economic value with little consideration of environment and social dimensions. While based on robust theoretical frameworks, some developed by its own authors, the book is enriched by international case studies and real-world illustrations throughout, to demonstrate how this theory translates to practice. Each chapter starts with learning objectives and concludes with a summary, activity, and discussion questions. Readers will gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of how to manage operations for sustainability. They will learn the strategies to formulate a sustainable operations strategy and the elements involved in managing tactical and operational activities to enhance sustainability performance over time. The book covers all aspects of the new business sustainability paradigm from an operations perspective, including sustainable development goals, the circular economy and digital transformation. With international agreements and national policies in place around themes such as climate change, ocean plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity, water scarcity, and zero landfill goals, this book will be a necessity for any university adhering to the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRIME). The text is suitable mainly for MSc and MBA students on sustainable supply chain and operations management modules as well as broader Operations Management courses, but it can also be used for final-year Undergraduate students as part of advanced operations management modules. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides and a test bank of questions.
