This special issue aims to publish high-quality research papers related to low-carbon operations and supply chain management, especially supporting net-zero emissions goals. We seek original papers that can provide scientific and interesting managerial insights for practitioners or supply chain members in alleviating real-world serious carbon emissions. These papers should be motivated from practical contexts but can be studied in a variety of methodologies, including formal analytical modeling, game theory, case study, empirical study, secondary and big data analysis. Some high-quality review papers would be equally welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Government policy and regulatory mechanisms and the relationships to net-zero emissions in manufacturing, operations, and supply chain management
• New business models for net-zero emissions in supply chain management
• Data-driven in low-carbon operations and supply chain management
• New financing modes for low-carbon supply chain management
• Emerging technological innovations to reduce carbon emissions in manufacturing, operations, and supply chain management
• Carbon emission forecasting and supervision in supply chain management
• Low-carbon supply chain network design
• Risk management in low-carbon investments of supply chains
• Sustainable resource planning and scheduling
• Information sharing of operations and carbon emissions in supply chain management
• Building on regenerative supply chains for net positive/negative operations and supply chain management
