Abstract

Environmental practices are incorporated into the supply chain management and logistic process of human resource management. It is referred to as a green logistics supply chain. To reduce the negative effects of logistical activities on the environment, sustainable transportation, eco-friendly packaging, and effective waste management techniques are used. Adopting environmentally conscious supply chain practices can improve a company's environmental reputation while lowering carbon emissions, increasing operational effectiveness, and saving money on human resource management. In order to adopt sustainable practices across every aspect of the value chain, from acquiring raw materials to delivering completed items to clients, this strategy necessitates coordination across stakeholders in the supply chain management and logistic process. In general, using a green logistic supply chain is a crucial approach for companies looking to grow sustainability while reducing their environmental impact. Using IoT in human resource management can boost operational effectiveness, cut down on transportation expenses, and boost customer satisfaction. For instance, current information on inventory levels, the quality of goods, and shipment status can be provided by smart sensors and devices, allowing businesses to optimize the way they manage their supply chains and reduce waste in human resource management.
