Abstract
The growing need for sustainable practices in global supply chains has driven the adoption of Big Data Analytics (BDA) to optimize performance and reduce environmental impact. Traditional supply chain management systems often fail to balance operational efficiency with sustainability goals, leading to increased waste and resource inefficiency. Big Data Analytics, by providing real-time insights, predictive models, and data-driven decision-making, offers a solution to this challenge. This research explores the application of BDA in the optimization of Sustainable Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) models, focusing on how data-driven strategies can enhance both environmental and operational performance. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining case studies, performance metrics, and interviews with key industry stakeholders to assess the impact of BDA on supply chain efficiency, resource utilization, and waste reduction. The results show that BDA significantly improves key performance indicators, including a 20% increase in resource efficiency, a 25% reduction in waste, and a 15% decrease in operational costs. The study concludes that BDA is a crucial enabler for sustainable supply chains, providing organizations with the tools to optimize operations while minimizing their environmental footprint.
