Investigating the knowledge of stakeholders in the healthcare supply chain to establish a sustainable ecological system

Abstract

Addressing the impacts of climate change on the supply chain requires the preparedness of all stakeholders. This study aims to assess stakeholder perspectives on climate change in the healthcare supply chain, focusing on environmental sustainability and risk reduction. A questionnaire was prepared and 1,290 respondents were examined. Krejcie and Morgan method was used to determine the appropriate sample size. The results showed that stakeholders in five different categories have increased their understanding of the risks of climate change. However, most of them have not implemented sufficient preventive measures that require effective action by macro decision makers.
