    The increased awareness about sustainable practices has resulted in the need for adopting environment-friendly practices by organisations.

Supply chain management is the most important aspect of Food Company. The study discusses the contribution of the food production sector of Ireland towards sustainable supply chain management. Besides this, the study also discusses how consumer buying behaviour is influenced by sustainable practices. In addition to this, the study analyses the influences of consumers on Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). At last, the study provides suggestions based on the analysis to make improvement in Supply chain management and persuade the behaviour of the customers.
