“…The ethical spaces provided by the NCCs offer individuals a less constrained choice supported by 'affinity relationships' (Low and Davenport, 2009) that develop within the community. Following McKenzie-Mohr (1999), all the researched communities apart from Fallowfields can be seen as effective cases of what the author terms community-based social marketing.…”

“…Some examples include cases of nonprofit organizations buying fair trade products (Low & Davenport, 2009), or motivations to buy renewable electricity (Wiser, Fowlie, & Holt, 2001), or the use of sustainable timber in projects (Zuo, Potangaroa, Wilkinson, & Rotimi, 2009).

An institutional approach to sustainable operations and procurement by third sector organizations SummaryAwareness of (un)sustainable operations is increasing in both academic research and practice.However, little is known about sustainable operations within the third sector. When it comes to sustainable practices, the role played by third sector organizations, and especially non-governmental organizations, has mostly been regarded as advocacy. We shift this traditional perspective by analyzing sustainability of internal operations, including procurement, by third sector organizations.Institutional theory is used to discuss the reporting trends that were found in a document analysis of reports by third sector organizations. We present research lines that might allow understanding drivers and constraints of such (reporting) practices.

“…Townsend (2009) briefly mentioned some sustainable food issues, such as seafood and animal welfare, within the wider context of zoo sustainability but did not discuss the issues in detail. Low and Davenport (2009) found that zoo catering facilities generally exhibited a higher level of sustainable procurement than zoo retail outlets, perhaps because of greater choice editing. Chester Zoo's Café Tsavo, for example, implemented SFP practices and noted reductions in food miles and food waste, as well as a greater incidence of locally supplied and fairly traded products (Davies, 2007).…”

Purpose. This study assessed the sustainable food procurement of members of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA). It also considered the inconsistencies between their animal and human food supply chains, as well as between between their procurement priorities and practices.Design. A quantitative, cross-sectional approach was employed, involving the use of a web-based questionnaire to gather data from 41 BIAZA members across 21 indicators of food sustainability. The results were considered within a Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) framework.Findings. There was considerable variation amongst the issues considered by zoos during the SFP process for their animal and human food operations. For both, local expenditure, nutritional content and packaging reduction were some of the highest scoring indicators in practice and as priorities. The overall levels of SFP were found to be equal between the human and animal food supply chains. Significantly low levels of inconsistency were found between the two, practically and in terms of procurement aspirations. Within both supply chains, there was also very few significant gaps between procurement priorities and actions.
