Integration of ESG and Supplier Evaluation Systems in the Development of Sustainable Supply Chains

The study is relevant in the context of increasing demands for sustainability and transparency in supply chains. The aim of the research is to examine contemporary tools for supplier evaluation and development, including PSPM, PIP, and certification systems, with the integration of ESG metrics. Tasks included analyzing motivation mechanisms, KPI formation, and contractual incentives, as well as identifying methods to enhance supplier maturity. The scientific and practical significance lies in developing a model of systematic management of partnership relations, contributing to risk reduction and efficiency improvement. The main results demonstrate that integrating evaluation, motivation, and sustainable practices forms manageable and competitive supply chains, confirming the novelty of the approach.
