Abstract

The global halal food industry has grown rapidly, yet the systemic integration of Shariah compliance with environmental sustainability principles remains a critical gap in both academic discourse and industrial practice, particularly in Indonesia as the world's largest Muslim consumer market. This study aims to address four research questions, namely how the concept of Green Halal Supply Chain (GHSC) has evolved in the academic literature, what factors constitute GHSC in the halal food industry, how halal compliance and sustainability can be effectively integrated, and what GHSC framework is appropriate for Indonesia's sustainable halal food industry. Methodologically, this is a conceptual paper that develops a theoretical framework through an integrative review and synthesis of supply chain management theory, halal supply chain scholarship, sustainability science, and Islamic jurisprudence on environmental ethics, supported by empirical data drawn from credible government and institutional sources. The results indicate that GHSC can be conceptualized through three interdependent dimensions, namely the green dimension (green procurement, eco-production, green logistics, waste management), the halal dimension (halal assurance, traceability, compliance), and the sustainability dimension (environmental, social, economic), which are then integrated into a Green Halal Supply Chain Framework (GHSCF) built upon six theoretical streams. In terms of implications, this study affirms that halal ethics and sustainability science are philosophically aligned, such that Islamic principles like the prohibition of israf (waste), the concept of khilafah (stewardship), and hifz al-bi'ah (environmental preservation) serve as theological foundations that parallel contemporary sustainability principles. The primary contribution of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework and adoption pathway for future empirical validation, while also enriching supply chain management theory, policy, and managerial practice within the sustainable halal food industry.
