In response to the growing environmental concerns and sustainability imperatives in the GCC and the world in general, companies are increasingly being urged to integrate environmental accountability into their core strategies and operations by accounting for environmental performance in their financial statements and the impact on supply chains and sustainable development. The problem of the study is to identify the impact of environmental accounting disclosure challenges on supply chains and sustainable development in companies. By taking the experiments of 20 companies and representatives of the study community interested in the topic and using the heuristic study approach through the questionnaire tool and a set of key variables, including the adoption of disclosure on environmental accounting performance (DEAP), supply chain sustainability performance (SCP), Sustainable Development Index (SD), and the (PLS) program, through statistical analysis, the study reached the most important results. The study revealed a positive relationship between the disclosure of environmental accounting performance, improved supply chains, and sustainable development in the companies represented by the study sample in the GCC, where both financial performance and environmental performance contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and supply chains. Accordingly, the study recommends many recommendations, the most important of which are: the need for companies to be encouraged to disclose the performance of environmental accounting as a strategic necessity, promote more sustainable supply chain management, improve financial performance, and effectively contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, thereby enhancing sustainability within companies and across supply chains. The study also recommends the need to continue studies in this aspect, especially in the GCC and East Asian countries, to urge companies to disclose the performance of environmental accounting in their financial statements.

Background: Collaborative logistics strategies are vital in today’s business world, where logistics factors play a fundamental role in achieving success and sustainability. This study aims to use a hybrid SEM–ANN approach to reveal nonlinear mechanisms in multidimensional supply chain collaboration among Sudanese manufacturing companies. Methods: The current study used a descriptive methodology to examine the relationships between variables. A survey was the main data-gathering tool for a cross-sectional, non-probability sample of 246 manufacturing companies. A two-stage SEM–ANN approach was used for data analysis. Results: The findings confirm a partially positive relationship between supply chain collaborative strategy and the logistics relationship satisfaction of Sudanese manufacturing companies. The results indicate that commitment (β = 0.447, p < 0.001) and partnership (β = 0.282, p < 0.01) significantly influence information sharing. Information sharing positively affects relationship satisfaction (β = 0.04, p < 0.001). Information sharing partially mediates the relationship between collaboration dimensions and relationship satisfaction, while relationship quality exerts a significant negative moderating effect (β = −0.090, p = 0.036). The ANN analysis further confirms the relative importance of commitment as the most influential predictor. Conclusions: The dual-method approach of SEM and ANN captures both the linear mechanisms through which commitment and partnership act (SEM) and the nonlinear patterns of predictor importance (ANN).
