Abstract
Tesla, a prominent company in electric vehicles and renewable energy technology, prioritizes environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and economic rewards in its supply chain management alongside cost and efficiency. The paper uncovers Tesla's methods in resource usage and conservation, environmental impact assessment, social responsibility management, and economic benefit management through literature analysis and case analysis. The study determined that Tesla has made notable advancements in environmental performance throughout its supply chain by implementing innovative technologies and management strategies, including battery technology improvements, automated production processes, supplier responsibility evaluations, and life cycle assessments (LCA). Tesla encounters obstacles including worldwide chip shortages and variations in raw material costs, affecting the stability and efficiency of its supply chain. The paper suggests that governments, enterprises, and industries collaborate to enhance supply chain sustainability. This can be achieved by implementing policies, fostering technological innovation, and utilizing sharing platforms to support the global sustainable development goals.
