Anotation: The article examines the conceptual foundations of the formation of a strategy for the decarbonization of supply chains, the identification of strategic solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the management of green chains from the point of view of ecological and economic efficiency. A structural and logical diagram of the formation of the strategy of decarbonization of supply chains has been built. Seven key business processes in supply chains/networks have been identified that significantly affect the volume of greenhouse gas emissions: ecological design, environmental procurement, energy- and resource-saving production, green transportation, ecological storage, smart eco-consumption, recycling and disposal. It was established that in closed-loop chains, managerial environmental solutions should be aimed at: preservation or restoration of products to extend their life cycle, which includes diagnostics and repair; reuse of products for the same or new purposes in their original form or with some changes; restorative repair of products or individual components; processing of waste and end-of-life products, or recycling (any recovery operations, with the help of which waste and old products are processed into materials, resources, substances for the production of other products or for other purposes).
Keywords: national economy, environmental protection, greenhouse gas emissions, climate neutrality decarbonization, carbon footprint, supply chain, green supply chains, green supply chain management, reverse logistics, ecological principles, circular business models, sustainable development, green investments, green technologies, strategy, strategic management, system approach, conceptual principles, synergistic effect.
Анотація: У статті розглядаються концептуальні основи формування стратегії декарбонізації ланцюгів поставок, визначення стратегічних рішень щодо скорочення викидів парникових газів, управління зеленими ланцюгами з точки зору еколого-економічної ефективності. Побудовано структурно-логічну схему формування стратегії декарбонізації ланцюгів поставок. Визначено сім ключових бізнес-процесів у ланцюгах/мережах постачання, які суттєво впливають на обсяги викидів парникових газів: екологічне проектування, екологічні закупівлі, енерго- та ресурсозберігаюче виробництво, екологічне транспортування, екологічне зберігання, розумне еко-споживання, переробка та утилізація. Встановлено, що в замкнутих ланцюгах управлінські екологічні рішення повинні бути спрямовані на: збереження або відновлення продукції для продовження її життєвого циклу, що включає діагностику та ремонт; повторне використання продукції для тих самих або нових цілей у первісному вигляді або з деякими змінами; відновлювальний ремонт виробів або окремих вузлів; переробка відходів і відпрацьованих продуктів, або рециклінг (будь-які операції відновлення, за допомогою яких відходи і старі продукти переробляються в матеріали, ресурси, речовини для виробництва іншої продукції або для інших цілей).
Ключові слова: національна економіка, охорона навколишнього середовища, викиди парникових газів, кліматична нейтральність, декарбонізація, вуглецевий слід, ланцюг поставок, зелені ланцюги поставок, зелене управління ланцюгами поставок, зворотна логістика, екологічні принципи, циркулярні бізнес-моделі, сталий розвиток, зелені інвестиції, зелені технології, стратегія, стратегічний менеджмент, системний підхід, концептуальні принципи, синергетичний ефект.
