Abstract

Nowadays environmental sustainability is a major concern to companies that operates in a global scale as it contributes to companies' reputation, stakeholder value and avoiding the risk of being to illustrate a rational function on sustainability pushing manufacturing industries to extend their focus beyond conventional financial goals to the triple bottom line technique that concurrently embraces the environmental, social and economic domains. Work on recycling mostly indirectly has been done in South Africa as compared to sustainable supply chain and reverse logistics. The author reviewed literature mostly on the drivers and enablers of SSCM. The author used explanatory research to find the drivers and enablers. 50 research articles mainly from Taylor and Francis are reviewed to get the selected 10 drivers of the enterprise development. The study used the Total Interpretive Structural Method (TISM) to develop the integrated framework using the elements of reverse logistics, sustainable supply chain and enterprise development. Data was analyzed and recommendations and conclusions were drawn.
