“…In our literature review, we found some examples for collaborative approaches to manage sustainability issues, including planning, control or information sharing (e.g. Colicchia et al, 2013;Reefke and Trocchi, 2013;Perry and Towers, 2013).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the academic literature on sustainability performance measurement for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) published over the past 20 years. The development and current state of instruments, concepts and systems to measure and manage sustainability performance are examined and research gaps are identified. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic literature review is conducted spanning two decades of publications in peer-reviewed academic journals. The publications are analyzed with regard to frequency and bibliometrical metrics and research content. Findings – The research examines the development of the field over 20 years, which has witnessed a steep rise in related publications only for the past five years, indicating a late interest in the area compared to other sustainability topics. Social performance measures entered the discussion particularly late, whereas economic and environmental measurement almost exclusively dominated the field for the first few years. Research limitations/implications – The authors identify research gaps and discuss future directions for research. The analysis shows how the research area develops from a topic dealt with by a small group of interested researchers into a broader research field acknowledged in the scientific community. Practical implications – Findings underline the importance of measuring performance for sustainability management of supply chains. The review identifies what measurement and management tools are discussed in the literature over time. Originality/value – This is the first literature review on sustainability performance measurement for SSCM summarizing the development over the time span of 20 years.

“…Figge et al (2002) list three options for integrating sustainability into a BSC: i) incorporating such measures into the existing four BSC perspectives; ii) adding an additional fifth perspective on sustainability; or iii) developing a specific BSC for sustainability. Reefke and Trocchi (2013) provides a blueprint for the implementation of option two within a supply chain, including the complexities around the interdependencies between firms within a supply chain. They also note the potential competitive advantage that can accrue to a supply chain that integrates social and environmental resources and knowledge.…”

Case study evidence from a large industrial firm is analysed with the purpose of constructing a new conceptual model of the influences that drive companies towards sustainability, and showing the advantages of integrating sustainability reporting with management control systems, specifically the balanced scorecard. The new conceptual model suggests an important role for external stakeholders to influence balanced scorecard measures, sustainability report measures, and management focus. These three constructs influence each other and are reinforced by a system of assigning and enforcing the assumption of individual employee responsibility, whilst supporting a drive towards sustainability. The advantages of integration include better operationalization and internal communication of sustainability ideals through the use of the balanced scorecard (BSC), and a better understanding of BSC causality (between the BSC perspectives) through the more extensive stakeholder engagement that sustainability reporting calls for.

“…Some studies detect significant positive influences of environmental SCM techniques on cost efficiency and operational performance [5,6]. As argued by Reefke and Trocchi [7], supply chains (SCs) are integral to the globalized economy and offer many business opportunities but can also lead to unintended social and environmental impacts. Accurate performance assessments are crucial for SC control and are also a cornerstone for sustainable development.…”

Development of a Framework for Sustainable Outsourcing: Analytic Balanced Scorecard Method (A-BSC)

2015

Nowadays, many enterprises choose to outsource its non-core business to other enterprises to reduce cost and increase the efficiency. Many enterprises choose to outsource their supply chain management (SCM) and leave it to a third-party organization in order to improve their services. The paper proposes an integrated and multicriteria tool useful to monitor and to improve performance in an outsourced supply chain. The Analytic Balanced Scorecard method (A-BSC) is proposed as an effective method useful to analyze strategic performance within an outsourced supply chain. The aim of the paper is to present the integration of two methodologies: Balanced Scorecard, a multiple perspective framework for performance assessment, and Analytic Hierarchy Process, a decision-making tool used to prioritize multiple performance perspectives and to generate a unified metric. The development of the framework is aimed to provide a performance analysis to achieve better sustainability performance of supply chain. A real case study concerning a typical value chain is presented.
