The challenges posed by multi‐crisis environments, such as pandemics and geopolitical uncertainties, create significant opportunities for supply chains (SC) to enhance their sustainability, resilience, and agility, thereby developing a strategic advantage. However, seizing these opportunities is not without its challenges; critical tensions inevitably arise. This paper, based on a systematic review of 287 SC studies, identifies and discusses five key tensions: (1) increased trade‐offs between sustainability and efficiency; (2) competing priorities between SC sustainability and resilience; (3) mismatched sustainability expectations causing stakeholder pressure; (4) conflicting demands between global and sustainable operations; and (5) unintended consequences of technological innovation, disadvantaging stakeholders with limited resources and capabilities. To mitigate these tensions while leveraging on the opportunities, the study proposes several strategic pathways, including adopting circular economy principles, optimizing inventory and distribution management, employing holistic measurement and forecasting, balancing risk‐hedging with proactive risk management, fostering inclusive stakeholder engagement, balancing globalization and regionalization, and integrating advanced digital technologies alongside with SC ecosystem wide change management. These strategies offer practical guidance for building sustainable and crises‐ready SCs and set the stage for an extensive research agenda to further explore SC sustainability in multi‐crisis environments.

在多重危机时期驾驭可持续供应链的紧张局势：系统文献综述


多重危机环境（如大流行病和地缘政治不确定性）带来的挑战为供应链 （SC） 创造了重要机会，可以提高其可持续性、弹性和敏捷性，从而形成战略优势。然而，抓住这些机会并非没有挑战;关键的紧张局势不可避免地会出现。本文基于对 287 项 SC 研究的系统评价，确定并讨论了五个关键紧张因素：（1） 可持续性和效率之间的权衡增加;（2） 南卡罗来纳州可持续性和弹性之间的竞争优先事项;（3） 不匹配的可持续性期望导致利益相关者的压力;（4） 全球运营和可持续运营之间的冲突需求;（5） 技术创新的意外后果，使资源和能力有限的利益相关者处于不利地位。为了在利用机会的同时缓解这些紧张局势，该研究提出了几种战略途径，包括采用循环经济原则、优化库存和分销管理、采用整体测量和预测、平衡风险对冲与主动风险管理、促进包容性利益相关者参与、平衡全球化和区域化，以及将先进的数字技术与 SC 生态系统范围内的变革管理相结合。 这些策略为建立可持续和为危机做好准备的 SC 提供了实用指导，并为广泛的研究议程奠定了基础，以进一步探索多危机环境中的 SC 可持续性。
