“…The USA are considered one of the big responsible for the negative climatic changes, probably encouraging studies that plan strategies to reduce the environmental impacts and search for more sustainable alternatives for the food chain. In South America, Brazil presented only two (6.45%) studies included in this review, with activities such as the reuse of oil for biodiesel production, recycling [37], and donation of fresh food leftovers to food banks or NGOs [42].…”

“…When we analyze the activities most implemented in food services (Figure 2), recycling (oil, paper, water, aluminum, etc.) is highlighted [9,13,28,29,31,32,[35][36][37]41], purchase of local products [23,24,27,29,30,[38][39][40][41][42]46], reduction in energy consumption [9,25,[29][30][31]36,42,46] Recycling is one of the best alternatives to reduce environmental problems and to increase the useful life of landfills [9,42]. It is the process in which the materials that would be discarded, or even those that have already been, are collected, separated, and processed to be used as a raw material in the manufacture of goods.…”

“…Waste management has become a key priority referring to all related activities on how to avoid, reduce, or recycle waste throughout the production and consumption chain [50]. However, from the studies that mentioned the waste recycling (n = 10) [9,13,31,32,[34][35][36][37]41,42], only 40% (n = 4) also mentioned the selective collect [13,34,35,42], and from studies that mentioned composting (n = 8) [9,23,26,28,32,34,36,50], only one mentioned the selective collect [34] as an sustainable activity. According to Demicco et al [32], composting is a set of techniques applied to control the decomposition of organic materials to obtain a more stable material, rich in humus and minerals, which generates a production chain with sustainable characteristics.…”

“…When analyzing the environmental indicator ( Figure S1-Supplementary materials), the most studied activities were reduction of energy consumption [9,25,[29][30][31]36,42,46], recycling [9,13,28,29,31,32,[35][36][37]41], organic food [22,[24][25][26]32,36], and selective collection [13,22,34]. The purchase of organic food is an environmental indicator that stood out among the actions implemented in the analyzed studies.…”

Environmental, Social and Economic Sustainability Indicators Applied to Food Services: A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

Sustainability is the integration of actions focused on three pillars: environmental, social, and economical. Implementing sustainable development ranges from the pursuit of quality of life, and from environmental balance to break with the current pattern of development. Therefore, the objective of this work was to understand and analyze the sustainability indicators implemented in the production of meals in food services. The authors developed specific search strategies for Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, Lilacs, Google Scholar, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global to perform the systematic review. The authors evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies using the Meta-analysis Statistical Assessment and Review Instrument (MASTARI). A total of 31 cross-sectional studies were analyzed. Twenty four (77.41%) of the studies had activities that covered the three indicators (environmental, social, and economic); 22.59% (n = 7) used two indicators in which 12.90% (n = 4) presented environmental and economic indicators and 9.67% (n = 3) with environmental and social indicators. This research indicates that the studies in food services are seeking to insert indicators that cover the three pillars of sustainable meal production. It is worth mentioning that in the literature, many works encompasses the importance of sustainability, but few explore which indicators are most applied or detail their implementation in food services. More studies are needed to estimate better the indicators being applied in food services.

The main purpose of this study is to improve the understanding and comprehension of the supply chain leadership concept. To this aim, the paper systematically reviews and synthesises the current academic literature in this emerging field, unveiling research gaps and discussing a future research agenda. The review was performed by selecting papers from leading journals in the operations and supply chain management field (using the Scopus and Web of Science academic search engines). Overall, 51 relevant papers were identified through the review process. After providing an overview of classical leadership theories, the paper introduces a definition for the supply chain leadership concept. The theoretical characterisation of such concept is then investigated, through the identification of dominant leadership theories employed to explain and characterise supply chain leadership. Also, the study provides a thematic analysis of supply chain leadership styles and their influence on supply chain practices. Employed research methodologies, along with geographical specificities and supply chain orientations of previous studies, are also scrutinised. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to provide a holistic systematic literature review in the supply chain leadership domain. Therefore, this contribution is an important first step in order to establish robust theoretical frameworks involving the constructs of supply chain leadership and to provide a foundation for further studies in this field.

Improving reverse supply chain performance: The role of supply chain leadership and governance mechanisms

Recently, a growing interest has been devoted to the role of buying firms in promoting sustainability across supply chains. However, relatively little attention has been given to how the behaviour of a buying firm affects the performance of reverse supply chains. Within this context, this paper investigates the role of Supply Chain Leadership styles on suppliers' performance dimensions related to reverse product flows. Furthermore, the mediating role of two governance mechanisms (namely trust and legal-legitimate power) on this relationship is examined. This study employs structural equation modelling to analyse data collected from 190 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The paper concludes that transformational and transactional leaderships are significant and positive contributors to suppliers' reverse supply chain performance; trust and power significantly mediate these relationships.
