“…First, it responds to the call for empirical studies demonstrating how socially responsible procurement practices are adopted (Ashby et al 2012). Quantitative studies of the drivers and outcomes of social responsibility are rare (Ehrgott et al 2011;Park-Poaps and Rees 2010) and this is the first study to use structural equation modeling in order to understand how bases of power impact the adoption of socially responsible procurement practices by first-tier suppliers.…”

“…This is because, pragmatically, the internal indicators are much more within the scope of control of the reporting respondent. It is also, however, because it is quite reasonable to assume that in many cases, activities conducted within the supply chains are those activities to which the MNCs seek labour cost advantages in choosing not to conduct such activities in-house -with the associated implication that lower cost is linked to a lower commitment to HRM (Hofmann, Busse, Bode, & Henke, 2014;Park-Poaps & Rees, 2010). Hence: Hypothesis 2.…”

As a response to the growing public awareness on the importance of organisational contributions to sustainable development, there is an increased incentive for corporations to report on their sustainability activities. In parallel with this has been the development of 'Sustainable HRM' which embraces a growing body of practitioner and academic literature connecting the notions of corporate sustainability to HRM. The aim of this article is to analyse corporate sustainability reporting amongst the world's largest companies and to assess the HRM aspects of sustainability within these reports in comparison to environmental aspects of sustainable management and whether organisational attributes -principally country-of-origin -influences the reporting of such practices. A focus in this article is the extent to which the reporting of various aspects of sustainability may reflect dominant models of corporate governance in the country in which a company is headquartered. The findings suggest, first and against expectations, that the overall disclosure on HRM-related performance is not lower than that on environmental performance. Second, companies report more on their internal workforce compared to their external workforce. Finally, international differences, in particular those between companies headquartered in liberal market economies and coordinated market economies, are not as apparent as expected.

“…Predominantly, papers evaluated industry peers (14) such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSI), and activist campaigns (e.g., [65]). To sum up, scholars constantly state that NGOs can act as watchdogs and are targeting the focal companies, which motivates them to implement social risk management practices (17) [66].…”

“…Also, public or governmental regulations as drivers have found scant attention since 2005. Only five studies have been identified [3,43,65,70,79]. Regarding media pressures, one study discusses predominantly the powerful impact of the media and its threats on companies' public image and financial well-being [65].…”

Regarding media pressures, one study discusses predominantly the powerful impact of the media and its threats on companies' public image and financial well-being [65]. Hence, negative media exposure drives companies to be socially responsible, as 19 papers of the sample mention [3,4,65,80].…”

Social Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Textile and Apparel Industry—A Literature Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

So far, a vast amount of studies on sustainability in supply chain management have been conducted by academics over the last decade. Nevertheless, socially related aspects are still neglected in the related discussion. The primary motivation of the present literature review has arisen from this shortcoming, thus the key purpose of this study is to enrich the discussion by providing a state-of-the-art, focusing exclusively on social issues in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) by considering the textile/apparel sector as the field of application. The authors conduct a literature review, including content analysis which covers 45 articles published in English peer-reviewed journals, and proposes a comprehensive map which integrates the latest findings on socially related practices in the textile/apparel industry with the dominant conceptualization in order to reveal potential research areas in the field. The results show an ongoing lack of investigation regarding the social dimension of the triple bottom line in SSCM. Findings indicate that a company's internal orientation is the main assisting factor in sustainable supply chain management practices. Further, supplier collaboration and assessment can be interpreted as an offer for suppliers deriving from stakeholders and a focal company's management of social risk. Nevertheless, suppliers do also face or even create huge barriers in improving their social performance. This calls for more empirical research and qualitative or quantitative survey methods, especially at the supplier level located in developing countries.
