AB  - Designing the right supply chain that meets the requirements of sustainable 
      development is a significant challenge. Although there are a considerable number 
      of studies on issues relating to sustainable supply chain design (SSCD) in terms 
      of designing the practices, processes, and structures, they have rarely 
      demonstrated how these components can be aligned to form an effective sustainable 
      supply chain (SSC). Considering this gap in the literature, this study adopts the 
      configurational approach to develop a conceptual framework that could configure 
      the components of a SSC. In this respect, a process-oriented approach is utilized 
      to classify and harmonize the design components. A natural-resource-based view 
      (NRBV) is adopted to determine the central theme to align the design components 
      around. The proposed framework presents three types of SSC, namely, efficient 
      SSC, innovative SSC, and reputed SSC. The study culminates with recommendations 
      concerning the direction for future research.
