    MSOM Sustainable Operations SIG 2020 Conference

    The Sustainable Operations Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society (MSOM) will hold its 13th annual conference on Sunday, June 28, 2020, at the Banff Centre in the Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, preceding the MSOM 2020 conference (June 29-30).

    On behalf of the Sustainable Operations SIG, we would like to invite you to submit papers to this conference. The acceptance decisions will be based on full paper submissions which will undergo a double-blind review by a panel of experts. Presentations of the accepted papers will be scheduled in a single track with one discussant per paper. All submissions will be considered as long as they fit within the topic of sustainable operations. This includes but is not restricted to: Energy and Natural Resources, Closed-Loop Supply Chains, Socially Responsible Operations, and Environmental Issues in Supply Chains. Furthermore, all methodologies including theoretical, empirical, case and field studies are welcome.
