Abstract
Resilient green supply chains integrate sustainability and robustness, enabling businesses to adapt to disruptions while prioritizing environmental responsibility. This research proposes a conceptual model that identifies crucial dimensions, components, and applications of resilient green supply chains. The study highlights critical dimensions such as sustainability, flexibility, risk management, and technological integration by synthesizing existing literature and applying a systematic approach. Components like supplier collaboration, circular economy practices, and renewable energy adoption are emphasized as vital for achieving resilience. Furthermore, practical applications, including disaster recovery frameworks and eco-friendly procurement strategies, are explored to demonstrate the model's relevance in real-world scenarios. The proposed model provides a holistic perspective, offering strategic insights for stakeholders seeking to enhance environmental and operational performance. This study is a foundation for future research and practical implementations, addressing the growing need for sustainable and resilient supply chain systems in today's dynamic global environment.
