Supply chain environmental and social sustainability practice diffusion: Bibliometrics, content analysis and conceptual framework

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to uncover how environmental and social sustainability practices are diffused across the supply chain tiers through supplier development initiatives. In particular, the work seeks to uncover the initiatives developed directly or indirectly by manufacturing firms and the factors that enhance them. A systematic literature review is used to examine the breadth of the sustainable supply chain literature. The papers obtained are screened and analysed using established procedures to

Práticas da Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos Sustentável: Revisão Terciária da Literatura

“…6 foram definidos: não foram considerados documentos cujo idioma não fosse inglês; foram considerados apenas revisões da literatura, publicadas em periódicos com processo de peerreview, para uma análise de produção científica mais qualificada e consolidada; e não se usou filtro de ano para as publicações. A seguinte string de busca foi utilizada, baseada em diversos autores que fizeram revisão de literatura sobre o tema (BALON, 2019;GIUFFRIDA;MANGIARACINA, 2020;PIMENTA et al, 2021;AGRAWAL et al, 2021): TI=("pract*") AND TS=(("GSC*" OR "SSC*") OR (("supply chain*" OR "value chain" OR "distribution network") AND ("sustain*" OR "green*" OR "environ*" OR "social*" OR "ethic*"))) As 15 revisões listadas na Tabela 1 foram analisadas quanto às bases consideradas, dimensões consideradas como foco e as práticas, como listadas pelos autores. Os resultados são expressos no Quadro 1, que resume de uma forma macroscópica as práticas da GCSS.…”

Sustainable Supply Chain Management: A Comprehensive Systematic Review of Industrial Practices

“…These activities have been the main causes of the vast creation of solid and liquid trash, air and water pollution, global warming, and decreases in the world's non-renewable resources and critical materials for many years. Pressure from social media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), world-wide community requests (e.g., 17 sustainable development goals established by the UN and the recent World Climate Change Conference held in Glasgow in 2021), and various customer and stakeholder sustainability expectations are some of the significant motivations and initiatives that push organizations to shift their SC policy more toward SSCs [5]. Nowadays, companies that use sustainable practices have significant competitive and economic advantages over those that neglect them.…”

“…An SLR by Nilsson and Göransson [16] extracted 14 main categories of critical factors, including collaboration, strategic orientation, culture, practices, and political context for the realization of SSC innovation. Pimenta and Ball [17] uncovered how environmental and social sustainability practices are diffused across SC tiers through supplier development initiatives directly or indirectly by manufacturing firms and the factors that enhance them. What is the procedure of collection and analysis for sustainable practices?…”

Bibliometric Analysis of Environmental, Social, and Governance Management Research from 2002 to 2021

“…Analyzing ESG literature, one can find that bibliometric studies have been widely used to analyze changes in various areas of research, such as trends in ESGM in the finance industry [11], the achievement of socially and environmentally viable economic growth through sustainable smart city ecosystems [12], and the practice and transfer perspective of enterprises' and organizations' adaptability and long-term adaptation to climate change [13]. Many related topics use bibliometric research to identify future trends [14][15][16][17]. However, no one has performed a bibliometric analysis of ESGM.…”
