“…Hemingway and Maclagan (2004) [117] and Park and Stoel (2005) [68] propose the implementation of social sustainability by corporations could be associated with the personal value of managers. There are also other factors considered to have influence over ethical sourcing practice e.g., corporate culture, ethical orientation, labor-intensive production and traditional technologies, differences in cost levels between sourcing and recipient areas, buyer's market, short deadlines, low predictability of ordering processes, low levels of transparency and communication barriers [109,118,119].…”

Sustainable Global Sourcing (SGS) is a rapidly emerging field with a geometric growth that is evidenced by the number of articles published within this field. The aim of this paper is to develop a systematic study quantitatively depicting the knowledge structure of the SGS field. A bibliometric analysis in conjunction with citation analysis and co-citation analysis is adopted to evaluate a total of 287 journal articles identified from systematic selection of influential work. A further content analysis is performed to obtain the detailed insights on the results of bibliometric analysis. Findings show five research clusters that constitute the SGS field, i.e., (i) Global Sourcing (GS) practice and environmental performance; (ii) Social sustainability/ethical sourcing practice in GS; (iii) Environmental evaluation criteria and certification; (iv) Fuzzy modelling of environmental practice in GS; (v) Effects of environmental and social sustainability practice on economic performance. On this basis, eight research directions are outlined for future research. This study provides an innovative method for systematic literature review work and robust indications for future investigations in the SGS field.

“…Sustainability involves a broad set of economic, environmental, and social responsibilities of decision-makers, which cross legal boundaries. Focusing on organizations, their responsibilities should not "stop at the door" and they should also be accountable for the practices of their business partners in the supply chain [11,20]. In this regard, sustainability involves managing the impacts of upstream and downstream activities and, accordingly, the adoption of an LCT approach.…”

An Assessment Tool to Integrate Sustainability Principles into the Global Supply Chain

et al. 2018

Abstract:The integration of sustainability principles into the assessment of companies along the supply chains is a growing research area. However, there is an absence of a generally accepted method to evaluate corporate sustainability performance (CSP), and the models and frameworks proposed by the literature present various important challenges to be addressed. A systematic literature review on the supply chain at the corporate level has been conducted, analyzing the main strengths and gaps in the sustainability assessment literature. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute to the development of this field by proposing an assessment framework a leading company can adopt to expand sustainability principles to the rest of the members of the supply chain. This proposal is based on best practices and integrates and shares efforts with key initiatives (for instance, the Organizational Environmental Footprint from the European Commission and United Nations Environment Programme and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry UNEP/SETAC); moreover, it overcomes important limitations of the current sustainability tools in a supply chain context consistent with the circular economy, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), planetary boundaries, and social foundation requirements. The results obtained create, on the one hand, new opportunities for academics; and, on the other hand, in further research, the use of this framework could be a means of actively engaging companies in their supply chains and of achieving the implementation of practical and comprehensive CSP assessment.

“…Formerly rather invisible to end-consumers, suppliers are now exposed to constant surveillance by well-informed, sustainability-conscious endconsumers (Auger, Devinney, Louviere, and Burke 2010), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other interest groups, and therefore directly influence their buyers' reputation through their behavior. This effect intensifies as, for instance, NGOs increasingly direct their CSR pressure on the supply chains of the firms with the dominant brand name (Amaeshi, Osuji, and Nnodim 2008). This study focuses on suppliers in a competitive supply chain setting and their business behavior in the context of increasing external CSR pressure.…”
