Abstract
The increasing environmental concerns, stakeholder pressures, and evolving market dynamics have prompted manufacturing SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) to adopt sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices. This paper investigates the relationship between sustainable supply chain initiatives and corporate performance, examining how environmental, social, and economic strategies affect the operational and financial outcomes of SMEs in the manufacturing sector. Based on a comprehensive theoretical analysis supported by primary data from selected Indian SMEs, the study reveals that firms with integrated sustainability strategies across procurement, production, and distribution are more likely to experience improved performance metrics, enhanced brand reputation, and long-term profitability. The findings underscore the necessity for SMEs to transition from traditional cost-driven supply chains to value-driven sustainable models.
