“…In this study, the SSEP scale was developed through the implementation of sustainability initiatives, sustainability reputation and the adoption of environmental management system practices through ISO 14001 certification. Previous literature has revealed that those metrics are positively related to supplier sustainability performance (Naffin et al, 2023; Yang & Zhang, 2017; Zimmer et al, 2016).…”

“…Beyond this, SSCM serves as an approach for buying firms to manage sustainability concerns with suppliers in the form of supplier evaluation for risk and performance (Hossan Chowdhury & Quaddus, 2021). To assess sustainability performance of suppliers, the most common tools suggested to buying firms are certifications, sustainability report and codes of conduct (Naffin et al, 2023). However, implementing SSCM requires more than just supplier evaluation.…”

Within the framework of institutional theory, this study explores how the proactiveness of focal (or buying) manufacturing firms, demonstrated through the adoption of various sustainability practices, influences the sustainability performance of suppliers. Additionally, it examines how the leadership capability of buying firms, particularly in terms of supply chain leadership, can play a crucial role in this link. Through empirical analysis of a sample taken from the fourth round of the High‐Performance Management (HPM) project, our study reveals compelling evidence indicating that buying firms, by adopting diverse sustainability practices, such as internal initiatives, monitoring efforts and collaborative approaches with suppliers, are able to create distinct institutional pressures. These pressures serve as a conduit for the diffusion of a shared set of sustainability goals, values and norms among suppliers, ultimately contributing to the development of sustainability competences and improving their overall sustainability performance. Furthermore, our findings suggest that when buying firms undertake a leading position, they can effectively translate isomorphism pressures into sustainability improvements on the supplier side. Overall, this study sheds light on important and understudied aspects of sustainability practices in buyer–supplier relationships and underscores the critical role that supply chain leadership can play in promoting sustainable practices across the entire supply chain.

This thesis deals with the adoption of sustainability practices in manufacturing. The primary objective is to shed light on the current literature by presenting compelling evidence that not only underscores the benefits of embracing sustainability and the value of pursuing sustainable practices but also illuminates the underlying reasons for the observed heterogeneity in the adoption of such sustainability measures. To achieve this goal, the thesis is structured across four distinct studies, with each study aimed at addressing specific inquiries pertinent to the subject under investigation. The first study is dedicated to examining the competitiveness of firms. This involves a detailed investigation into the potential range of sustainability outcomes that may arise from the adoption and implementation of diverse bundles of sustainability practices. Furthermore, the study provides insight on how these outcomes can play a pivotal role in enhancing the competitive advantage of manufacturing firms. The second study explores the national culture framework to explain the heterogeneous response of manufacturing firms toward the adoption of sustainability practices in different context. This analysis intricately examines the interplay between three national culture dimensions with different internal/external sustainability drivers in influencing the adoption of different environmental sustainability practices. Shifting the focus to the third study, an investigative endeavor seeks to establish the necessary conditions enabling manufacturing focal firms to effectively address sustainability challenges that extend beyond their organizational boundaries while considering the moderating influence of supply chain leadership. The aim of this study is to analyze how focal firm influence sustainability performance of suppliers from the perspective of institutional theory. Finally, the fourth study delves into the connection between sustainability practices and the operational achievement of manufacturing firms. This involves an assessment of how the adoption of diverse sets of sustainability practices by manufacturing firms contributes to the advancement of success in new product development, encompassing both operational and market success.

Exploring the psychological antecedents of suppliers' sustainability practices: A qualitative investigation in the Indian textile industry

The uncertainties associated with modern businesses complicate decision‐making, especially in complex supply chains, such as those of the textile industry, which has its hub in emerging South Asian countries. Using the Indian textile industry as the research setting, this paper explores from a psychological lens how suppliers process uncertainties while adopting sustainability practices. The study uncovers certification agencies, interpersonal trust between suppliers and buyers, and suppliers' size, as key constructs that influence how suppliers perceive and process risks and ambiguities, and in turn how that influences their adoption of sustainability practices. Combining these empirical insights with the stakeholder and relational view theories, we develop a comprehensive framework to model suppliers' sustainability decision‐making in the face of uncertainty. This study uncovers nuances of uncertainty aversion, which provide valuable insights for practitioners while also breaking fertile ground for future academic research to quantify the emergent propositions.
