“…Each was assessed by a 5-point Likert scale (1-Stongly disagree, 5-Strongly agree). Likert scales have been previously used in several sustainability measurement studies (Zhu et al, 2008;Jennings, 2002, 2004;Miao et al, 2012 …”

Research on social sustainability in developing countries has recently gained importance for both academics and practitioners. Studies in the supply chain management field take either a supplier or a manufacturer perspective that address predominantly corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues referring to the internal stakeholders. Our research integrates the literature on supplier, manufacturer, and customer responsibility and proposes the concept of supply chain social sustainability (SCSS) that refers to addressing social issues within the overall (upstream and downstream) supply chain. Furthermore, we develop and empirically validate scales for measuring SCSS using in-depth interviews and a survey in the Indian manufacturing industry. Our results suggest that SCSS consists of six underlying dimensions, namely equity, safety, health and welfare, philanthropy, ethics, human rights, in a 20-item valid and reliable scale. We discuss the implications of the findings for research and practice and suggest future research avenues.

“…The term Logistics Social Responsibility is often used by authors examining CSR issues in relation to logistics management (Carter and Jennings, 2002, Ciliberti et al, 2008, Miao et al, 2012. Poist (1989) proposed a number of dimensions comprising Logistics Social Responsibility, e.g.…”

“…The explorative study by Murphy and Poist (2002) showed that safe movement and storage of goods, as well as employee health and safety are of great importance to practitioners. Other social aspects of CSR discussed in the logistics literature include workforce diversity (Andre, 1995, Lynagh et al, 1999, job satisfaction and working conditions (Min and Lambert, 2002), ethics (Razzaque and Hwee, 2002, Maloni and Brown, 2006, Pretious and Love, 2006, Miao et al, 2012, and human and labour rights (Björklund, 2010). Perry and Towers (2013) present a discussion of a wide range of social aspects of CSR in their attempt to develop a framework for CSR implementation in fashion supply chains.…”

Sustainability reporting in the logistics industry AbstractPurpose -The aim of this paper is to present a content analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports published by Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), and to analyse factors influencing the level and scope of reporting. In order to address this objective, we show to what extent various social and environmental categories are covered in the CSR reports. We also investigate whether any differences in the use of CSR indicators can be found with regard to the use of a formal reporting framework, the size of a company, location of its headquarter, and ownership structure.Design/methodology/approach -The study begins with a comprehensive literature review on the CSR policies and practices in relation to the field of logistics. A database of 350 international LSPs is compiled based on independent rankings of top logistics companies. Applying a content analysis approach, corporate websites and CSR reports are examined in order to investigate how sustainability is reported and what CSR-related indicators are published. Statistical analysis is carried out to provide insight into whether any differences in the use of CSR indicators can be found with regard to four key factors identified in the literature review.Findings -Although aspects of sustainability are mentioned on corporate websites of most LSPs in the database (53%), only 13% publish formal CSR reports. This research identifies a variety of indicators used by LSPs and shows that the use of a formal reporting framework and the size of a company are the two main factors influencing the levels of CSR reporting in the sector.Practical implications -This paper provides an insight into how transparently LSPs report on the sustainability of their performance. LSPs can compare their own CSR reporting approaches to the body of scientific literature and the findings presented in this paper, in order to adapt more general concepts and best practice evidence to their needs.Social implications -By focusing on best practice in reporting of the environmental and social performance, this research can potentially improve the long-term sustainability of the logistics sector.Originality/value -This is the first study providing a comprehensive review of the CSR reporting practice in the third party logistics sector. As such, this paper provides an important basis for CSR-related research in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Several areas for future research are also identified.

“…As empresas buscam atender às expectativas de seus clientes, mas via de regra, não demandam investimentos que não agreguem valor ao seu produto ou serviço (Miao, Cai, & Xu, 2012;Solér, Bergstrom, & Shanahan, 2010). Caso o cliente não exerça pressão em favor do consumo racional de recursos, minimização da geração de resíduos e adoção de mecanismos de produção mais limpa as organizações tenderão a declinar da decisão de implementar a GCSV (Govindan et al, 2014;Luthra et al, 2011;Mathiyazhagan, Govindan, Nooru Haq, & Geng, 2013;Mudgal et al, 2010;Muduli et al, 2013).…”
