This guide serves as a practical manual for organizations looking to improve the sustainability of their supply chain processes through blockchain integration. The authors break down the deployment process into manageable phases, from initial needs assessment to selecting the appropriate consensus protocol and governance model. The paper highlights specific use cases such as circular economy tracking, sustainable procurement, and supply chain ethical auditing. It provides a structured approach for overcoming adoption barriers, emphasizing that successful implementation is dependent on stakeholder collaboration and data quality standards. By focusing on practical application rather than just technical theory, the guide provides clear takeaways for supply chain managers and project leads. It concludes with a framework for benchmarking performance, ensuring that blockchain projects remain aligned with organizational sustainability goals. Authors: A. Rejeb, K. Rejeb, S. Zailani, J. G.
