“…Nevertheless, as Walters et al (2014) point out, this was a relatively narrow expression of a more complex reality since effective safety management was regarded by both the personnel of the ship management company and the seafarers as implicit in the maintenance of long-standing business relationships. So, while supply chain relations with clients did not provide much in the way of a direct influence on OHS management standards, they did influence them indirectly as a result of the wider institutional framework of public regulation (and inspection) in which the business relations of the companies involved were situated.…”

The purpose of this approach was to go beyond the common practice of only studying the supply dynamics subsisting between ‘purchasers’ and their direct suppliers (Walters et al, 2012) and in this way gain a fuller picture of whether, and under what circumstances, those towards the head of supply chains can more deeply influence behaviour within them.…”

“…Reputational effects do not only impact brands; they also affect institutional customers and investors (Berliner et al, 2015). Institutional customers may be less sensitive to brands, but could be sensitive to a negative reputation regarding labour practices (Walters et al, 2016), and "the threat of losing multiple institutional purchasers may be a cause for concern" (Berliner et al, 2015: 39). In the same vein, institutional investors are increasingly integrating ethical criteria into their strategies, and poor labour practices in the GVCs of a firm can impede access to financial resources.…”
