“…Hsu, Choon Tan, HanimMohamad Zailani, and Jayaraman (2013) studied the drivers that affect GSCM initiatives by Malaysian manufacturers, and showed that customer pressure significantly influences GSCM adoption. This conclusion is contrary to that reported by BenBrik et al (2013) in Dubai.Hence, these differences emphasize that there are several gaps in the understanding and awareness of sustainability issues in emerging economies.Recent studies demonstrated the sustainability evolution in India(Balaji & Arshinder, 2016;Gopal & Thakkar, 2016;Mani et al, 2018;…”

“…These models have implications for all organizations, and challenge them to rethink, innovate, and optimize sustainability issues in their supply chains. For instance, environmental performance is one of the most studied subjects in the recent literature (Ben Brik, Mellahi, & Rettab, 2013;Destek & Aslan, 2017;El Saadany, Jaber, & Bonney, 2011;Kashmanian, 2015;Kushwaha & Sharma, 2016;Mani et al, 2018).…”

Sustainable supply chains (SSC) are an essential topic in emerging economies for achieving sustainable development. Because of their rapid economic growth, emerging economies are experiencing both sides of this development: the well‐being enhancement and the environmental impact. However, decision makers and practitioners do not have robust models for managing supply networks that consider the sustainability complexities. This study aims to provide a better understanding of SSC in emerging economies and proposes a generic framework to improve the decision‐making process. Based on a review of the literature, a decision framework for sustainability is proposed. A green sustainable decision concept is also discussed in the SSC literature. This study has implications for scholars, decision makers, and practitioners interested in advancing the SSC field based on an extension of the framework.

Global agrifood supply chains are under increasing pressure to address sustainability issues due to growing concerns. However, numerous organizations within the agrifood industry are struggling to incorporate sustainable supply chain management practices and address the concerns. Therefore, this research is designed to identify the key critical factors, such as drivers, enablers, and barriers to adopting sustainable practices. This study considers the Ethiopian coffee industry, which is an important sector not only for the Ethiopian economy but also for the global agrifood supply chain. To accomplish the objectives of this study, we applied a systematic literature review and empirical survey. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify critical factors for adopting sustainability in agrifood supply chains. An empirical survey was then undertaken in the Ethiopian coffee industry to rank the key critical factors. Hence, the study has revealed that economic and productivity improvement, cost effectiveness and improvement in the overall performance, and difficulty in mindset and cultural changes as the key critical factors that determine the adoption of sustainability initiatives from the perspectives of the Ethiopian coffee supply chain. The findings can be used as input by government regulatory bodies and policymakers to craft strategies and policies to adopt sustainability initiatives and ensure sustainable development. Furthermore, the research is expected to contribute to the existing literature by bringing in the perspective of suppliers in developing countries.
