Abstract

This chapter emphasizes the importance of managing capital flows through different Sustainable Supply Chain Finance (SSCF) models with the aim of improving the development of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). We start by examining the driving force behind practical SSCF cases with three different SSCF models, which include leading enterprise-initiated SSCF, e-commerce platform-enabled SSCF and government-supported SSCF. Next, the main practical implications for future implementation of SSCF for policymakers, focal firms, and suppliers along with SCF service providers are summarised. Finally, we present theoretical implications to compare different SSCF models.
