“…Unsurprisingly here, the proportion of developing countries being addressed is strikingly noticeable. Focal companies are another attractive research object across all the papers (24). Also, it is no surprise that here the proportion of developed countries being addressed are mostly evident.…”

“…One of the most investigated categories is human rights/rights to associate with groups or unions, which derived inductively during the analysis [102]. It makes sense to present the inhuman treatment/harassment category, which derived deductively [24] in line, because this includes the violation of human rights. For instance, Hoang and Jones [89] report how code of conduct audits helped a supplier's workers to go to the toilet freely, rather than applying for a toilet card in advance.…”

“…Nevertheless, classifications of socially sustainable measures can be found, and generally speaking, performance measurement is the effort to quantify a company's task by its efficiency and effectiveness [22,31,35,36]. Giannakis & Papadopoulos [24] identified socially related risks in supply chains and provided definitions and practices on how to respond to the risks, i.e., child/forced labor, discrimination, unhealthy/dangerous working environment, inhuman treatment/harassment, unfair wages, unethical treatment of animals, and excessive working time. Based on these constructs and the suggested indicators, which are depicted later in Table 1, the social performance of a focal company or a supplier can be measured.…”
