“…Perceptions are therefore an essential explanatory concept to understand decision‐making processes and policy changes (Khamkaji & Radaelli, 2022; Swinkels, 2020), and the complex interplay between different perceptions has been shown to affect how organisations engage with innovations and transitions (Häggman, 2009). Awareness of the impact of perceptions on policies and governance, including in the field of sustainability, is also starting to underpin more quantitative research into practitioners' perspectives (Haroon et al, 2021). By focusing here on professionals, we emphasise the link between individual perceptions and the operationalisation and implementation of sustainability integration at the organisational level.…”

The effective integration of the environmental with the economic and social dimensions of sustainability will only succeed when the core problem perceptions of professionals in these fields adjust as well. Yet, while sustainability integration in general has been thoroughly researched, few studies have analysed the specific role of subjective understandings among professionals. This article bridges this gap by asking how professionals understand and operationalise sustainability integration. Which factors shape their perceptions and practices? We present the results of an online survey that was circulated to a diverse sample of professionals and then analysed using statistical methods. Responses from 508 participants show that sustainability integration is mostly perceived as a balance across all three sustainability dimensions rather than a hierarchy with the environment at its basis. However, perceptions also vary significantly across professional and geographical contexts. This signifies the need to better account for how individual circumstances affect processes of integration.

“…As the primary objective of supply chain management is consumer satisfaction [60,61], the consumer is acknowledged as one of the most vital stakeholders in the majority of supply chains [62]. In the modern days of digitalization, consumers increasingly connect with businesses via a plethora of touchpoints across numerous platforms and media, and customer experiences are becoming increasingly social.…”

This study aims to test the effect of sustainable supply chain management on customer relationship management, competitive advantage, and organizational performance by collecting and analyzing data from the Egyptian textile industry. A suggested research model shows the hypothesized relationship between sustainable supply chain management, customer relationship management, competitive advantage, and organizational performance. The proposed research model and hypotheses were tested using correlation analysis and structural equation modeling based on data collected from 148 companies working in the Egyptian textile industry. Statistical analysis of the collected data supports the positive relationship between sustainable supply chain management on one side and customer relationship management, competitive advantage, and organizational performance on the other. Additionally, statistical analysis supports the positive relationship between customer relationship management and competitive advantage from one side and organizational performance from the other side. Data were collected through an online survey from 147 supply chain managers in the Egyptian textile industry to test the research hypotheses. The results suggest that the successful implementation of sustainable supply chain management will help in improving customer relationship management, competitive advantage, and organizational performance.

During the last two decades, the dimensions of business sustainability have expanded from an environmental focus to a ‘triple bottom line (TBL)’ i.e. Economic, Social and Environmental. The analysis shows that the real challenge for businesses lies in balancing these three TBL dimensions. The TBL sustainability equation of any business is relative to the context in which it operates. In the case of global business value chains, it is observed that the TBL performance varies depending on the particular stage of the value-chain i.e. first sourcing to manufacturing, distribution, consumption and reverse logistics. There is no absolute formula for defining the TBL performance. Therefore, the issue requires contextual analysis of the different value chain levels in relation to the contextual considerations. The current paper focuses on analyzing three different value chains in Sub-Saharan Africa: Lithium Batteries; Coffee; and Pharmaceuticals. Based on the literature review, we first identify the important parameters for analyzing these three value chains. Two of the selected value chains focus on the sustainability issues in the inbound part of value chains (sourcing) while the third one focuses on the distribution (outbound) value chain. The paper explores how the considerations and approach of analysis shift depending on the contextual requirements. The paper offers insights for further developing the sustainability performance analysis framework in global value chains. instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for this journal.
