This paper explores the evolution of supply chain finance (SCF) as a collaborative financial management approach, and its role in addressing the growing importance of sustainability and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) principles. It focuses on sustainable supply chain finance (SSCF) as a strategic link between financial and operational practices and sustainability goals, emphasising its potential to transform global supply chains. The adoption of SSCF practices offers significant opportunities to improve business efficiency, accountability, and resilience. The paper provides an overview of strategies and challenges in SSCF, while also discussing the crucial role of education and professional training in advancing its adoption. Embedding SSCF into academic curricula and lifelong learning programs equips professionals with the skills needed to align financial performance with sustainability. Combining academic literature and sector insights, this study aims to deliver a comprehensive perspective on the convergence of sustainability and SCF, offering actionable strategies to overcome implementation barriers.
