Item Geoeconomic Shifts and Strategic Business Responses(IGI Global, 2026) Kiarie, R. M.Increased international trade has led to interconnection of supply chains across continents and countries. With the disruptions existing in the global economy, the domestic economies of many countries feel the resulting impact whenever there are any major world events that intertwine with the supply chain, for example, the adoption of green supply chain practices, disruption of shipping logistics, and economic trade wars. While the developed countries have made noticeable movements in moving towards green supply chains, countries in Africa and more specifically East Africa are yet to make substantial changes. In this chapter, green supply chain management has exhibited quantifiable benefits that range from reduction in CO2 emissions, reduction in waste, cost savings arising from use of clean energy, incorporation of local sourcing, and sourcing from suppliers who would be classified as disadvantaged from an economic perspective.
