“…Based on the list of 463 indicators, either existing indicators were selected and adapted, or new indicators were developed. The development of indicators involved five focus group workshops with industry experts from the European automotive and electronics industries, consultants and researchers in the field of sustainability and supply chain management, and followed the method suggested by Henseling et al [32] (see Schöggl et al [12] for more details on the methodological foundation of the focus group workshops). The focus group workshops were used to condense the number of indicators and to assess which types of indicators should be provided (e.g., qualitative/quantitative, total/relative, product/organizational level, etc.).…”

“…Schöggl et al [12] identified the following seven industrial requirements for supply chain-wide sustainability assessment: (1) accessibility for companies inexperienced in sustainability assessment; (2) applicability with respect to different types of sustainability data; (3) applicability in supply chain-wide assessment; (4) adaptability to supply chain dynamics; (5) adaptability to regional and cultural characteristics; (6) comparability of results; and (7) robustness in the face of insufficient information.…”

“…The supply chain KPIs are flexible regarding a change of one or more supply chain partners, since their indicator values can be integrated into those KPIs already assessed. Challenge 5, the incompleteness and quality of sustainability data, can be dealt with by applying a range of suitable plausibility checks [12].…”

“…This is illustrated in Figure 5 under data challenges. The indicator set complements previous work on the data challenges, namely, on the aspects of sustainability, the ASSC framework, the aggregation methods and the plausibility checks [12,18]. Since products in the automotive and electronics industries consist of a large number of individual components and sub-components, supply chain sustainability assessment requires the collection of heterogeneous sustainability data throughout intertwined and non-transparent supply chains [61].…”

“…Besides the various voluntary initiatives, regulatory frameworks also serve to drive companies towards engaging in an exchange of sustainability information in order to avoid the risks of non-compliance [6]. For instance, both of the above mentioned industries are already bound to (see Schöggl et al [12] for more details). The ASSC framework, which was developed with the help of industrial experts from the European automotive and electronics industries, does not, however, encompass a definite set of supply chain indicators, since these indicators cannot be defined globally.…”

Abstract:In automotive and electronics supply chains, sustainability assessment is gaining increasing importance. More stringent regulations and growing customer pressure are driving the change towards more environmentally, socially and economically responsible supply chains. Since this implies a rising use of resources for data collection, monitoring, exchange and assessment, the objective of this paper is to facilitate supply chain sustainability assessment. The present paper first provides a tailored set of 69 supply chain sustainability indicators for the European automotive and electronics industries. These were derived on the basis of a systematic literature review, together with 13 semi-structured interviews and five focus group workshops, all of which involved sustainability and industry experts. Second, the paper provides a case example of software-based supply chain sustainability data exchange. The extent to which sustainability information is currently exchanged in the two industries is also analyzed. The set of indicators is scientifically relevant since it considers all three dimensions of sustainability and is intended to allow for supply chain-wide sustainability assessment in two specific industries. It is also of high practical relevance since it was developed with and validated by industry experts, and also since it considers industrial and technical requirements for supply chain sustainability assessment in order to increase the efficiency of the work processes.

Exploring sustainable development goals adoption in supply chain management: A typology of coexisting institutional logics

Despite growing interest in the 17 United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs), companies still struggle with how to implement them as part of their sustainability policies. Hence, we explore how the SDGs are adopted in supply chain management (SCM) using institutional logic as a theoretical lens. Based on a case study, we analyse 10 interviews conducted with managers and suppliers of a multinational cosmetics company recognised for its sustainability engagement. Our findings show that while the strategic level embraces the SDG framework, supply management processes are exclusively evident at the operational level. This becomes even more salient in the analysis of sustainability and commercial coexisting logics. Although sustainability logic concerns compliance with sustainability‐related regulations and external pressures, commercial logic demonstrates the effective engagement of strategic decisions in favor of profitability. Our results reveal nuances in the existing gap between the SDGs and SCM, illustrated through a typology of coexisting logics at the strategic and operational levels, adding value to the SCM literature. This paper questions the feasibility of implementing the UN SDGs along a supply chain, which opens the door for future research and new practical insights relevant to companies' daily operations.

A framework for sustainable supply chain in emerging economies

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.
