Environmental and social supply chain management sustainability practices: construct development and measurement

Piggy in the Middle: How Direct Customer Power Affects First-Tier Suppliers’ Adoption of Socially Responsible Procurement Practices and Performance

Marshall, McCarthy, Heavey, and McGrath (2015) examined a series of constructs to explain integration or trade-offs between different 'types' of sustainability, and highlighted a gap in how environmental and social supply chain sustainability practices are evaluated. In addition, no collaborative construct currently exists that shows the relationship between the different economic, social and operational measures, and interests of all stakeholders within an urban area.…”
