This paper extends our research on “bespoke” resilience strategies, by formulating a supply chain model that enhances reported models by adding sustainability. The proposed model examines tradeoffs, constraints, and risks for the extended problem and considers implications for supply chain strategy development. One key question was whether the two concepts are mutually reinforcing or conflicting. Our analysis shows how the answer depends on the features of the supply chain environment.
