Abstract

This study investigates how blockchain technology can advance sustainability in supply chains across multiple industries, including food, energy, textiles, and finance. By synthesizing recent international literature and analyzing industry case studies, the research identifies both the opportunities and limitations of blockchain in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study addresses how blockchain contributes to transparency and traceability in supply chains, the main barriers to its widespread adoption, and the practical pathways that exist for leveraging blockchain to enhance sustainability. The findings reveal that while blockchain offers significant potential for improving supply chain transparency, efficiency, and accountability, challenges such as high energy consumption, scalability, and regulatory uncertainty remain. The paper concludes with policy recommendations and directions for future research to maximize the sustainable impact of blockchain technology.
