Abstract:

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the concept of sustainable development, its rules and regulations are currently being implemented in almost all activities. Principles of sustainable development concept is most often used in companies currently operating in the market, and its practical application manifests itself in all aspects of business: logistics, manufacturing, marketing or communication with the outside, which takes place between the organization and its potential and existing consumers, sellers and buyers, also between the organization and various stakeholders [1]. This article presents the essence of a sustainable supply chain, along with several examples of companies, that take action to achieve a sustainable state in their supply chains. In this article is presented the enterprises’ point of view as being the first tie in the whole supply chain. But their activities, taken in order to include some aspects of sustainable development, often have a significant influence on the next elements of supply chains, such as customers, producers or final users.
