Abstract

Blockchain technology has gained significant attention for its potential to transform various industries, including supply chain management. In the context of integrated green supply chain management in China, this conceptual study explores the implications and potential benefits of blockchain technology. The study focuses on key aspects such as traceability and transparency, carbon footprint reduction and emissions tracking, smart contracts and automated compliance, and stakeholder collaboration and trust-building. Additionally, the study discusses the challenges and barriers to the implementation of blockchain in green supply chains, including technological challenges, legal and regulatory considerations, and adoption barriers. Future research directions, including empirical studies, comparative analysis, and policy implications, are also highlighted. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the potential impact of blockchain technology on integrated green supply chain management in China.
