Systemic Understanding

The incorporation of sustainable aspects in the supply chain management (SCM) has become an important topic for researchers and professionals; however, it is a field that yet lacks a systemic understanding. The objective of this article is to conduct an analysis on the international literature about the SCM sustainability topic, by employing a systematic review protocol, covering the period from 2011 to 2016. The content analysis technique was performed, following the procedures of categorical thematic analysis proposed by Bardin (1977), which considers the creation of categories a posteriori, based in the direction senses related to the content analyzed. Besides to present the main characteristics of the articles related to distribution of publications per year, most studied sectors, main methods and approaches used main countries and journals of publications, we categorize the results at the systemic approach level of the sustainable development dimensions. We found that some dimensions are prominent when compared with the others: For example: the environmental one, on the other hand, the social one is approached few times in the papers considered in our analysis. These results also indicate that this type of discussion needs to be extended to other sectors that have not yet been explored. The contribution of this paper lies on the synthetization of the state-of-the-art related to sustainable SCM in the period considered, highlighting the environmental, social and economic dimensions, in order to identify a research agenda. By identifying possible research gaps, the results of this research contribute to guide future investigations on sustainable SCM, aiding researchers and practitioners in this field.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management

PurposeThe paper investigates how the alignment of two corporate functions, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and trade compliance (TC) can help companies to take corporate value chain responsibility (VCR). In particular, the authors investigate how evolutionary system theory can explain the coevolution of two distinct VCR functions (SSCM and TC) and the potential and challenges for their future alignment.Design/methodology/approachThe authors introduce evolutionary system theory as a powerful explanatory perspective to the field of VCR, SSCM and TC. By applying evolutionary system theory to the VCR debate, the authors analyze the potential for aligning both functions. They further analyze the inherent challenges of such an alignment by discussing the concept of organizational path dependencies.FindingsThe paper spells out a research agenda and formulates testable propositions for further investigating the interplay of environment and system as well as the structural options for a functional alignment of SSCM and TC.Originality/valueThe corporate function of TC has been widely overlooked by supply chain and sustainability scholars. This paper adds the function of TC to the wider discussion on SSCM and corporate VCR. Furthermore, the paper develops a research agenda for a pioneer topic and triggers discussion in academia and corporate practice.

Business Approach

Firm sustainability has been becoming increasingly significant for firms and has been considered as the main constituent of the social contract between society and business. We specifically chose Nestlé food and beverages and define sustainable development as a means to increase global access to nutritious food so that future generations will be able to contribute to sustainable social and economic stability and climate security. Our core business approach is to create long-term sustainable equity across Nestlé's 135-year existence for our customers, buyers, workers, shareholders, and the world as a whole. The Nestlé Values of the group say openly that we support long-term market growth in the short term. We urge managers not to do so at the risk of efficient, long-term growth while pledging ourselves to safe profits. Awareness of the consumers is important for improving the company's sustainable environmental development and supply chain management. To evaluate the role of client understanding in a sustainable supply chain we would like to examine the specific connection between consumer knowledge and their durability in the sustained management of the supply chain. In addition, the effect of customers on the viability of the supply chain processes in Nestle is strengthening. A computational model is proposed to test the importance and influence of customer awareness. It is necessary to increase knowledge about how sustainable supply chain management operates to boost organizations’ capacity to create a social and environmental difference in supply chains. We use SPSS software for data analysis and P-test, F-test, and T-test for analysis.

Development Goals

PurposeThis paper aims to identify academic literature studies on corruption in the supply chain management (SCM) from 2005 to 2016 to propose a research agenda. The review links this possible new course of research within the sustainable development goals (SDGs) framework, proposed by the United Nations from 2015 to 2030.Design/methodology/approachA literature review method was used in the academic research to identify which approaches are used for corruption in SCM. The analysis of the context of SDGs required an integrated approach once the goals are interconnected.FindingsDespite the increase in research studies in 2015, there is still little research focusing specifically on corruption in SCM. There is a broad opportunity to connect the research on corruption in SCM with the context of the practice to achieve the SDGs.Originality/valueConsidering the economic, social and environmental risks of corruption practices in SCM and the scarce academic literature on these themes together, a research agenda with interdisciplinary groups is suggested to deepen the subjects. There are some questions related to corruption in SCM and its connections with practice to achieve the SDGs.

Research on supply chain sustainability is important for exporters. Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) as well as good use of supply chain dynamics will help enterprise adapt to changes in the business environment. This study analyzes the impact of SSCM, supply chain dynamic capabilities on the sustainable development of exporting enterprises in Vietnam. Analyzing with 185 samples, SEM structure model analysis techniques have shown that supply chain dynamic capabilities, SSCM all have positive effects on the sustainable development of businesses (sustainable development is measured by distribution: measuring economic efficiency, social efficiency, and environmental performance). From the results of this study, the authors also made a number of recommendations to help export enterprises to develop sustainably based on the factors of SSCM and supply chain dynamic capabilities.

The performance of sustainable supply chain management today, especially for palm oil, continues to experience a drastic decline from the social, economic, and environmental perspectives. Both the supply and demand sides are undergoing severe disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To survive the COVID-19 situation and afterward, the palm oil industry needs to focus on priority indicators for immediate improvement. For that reason, our study aims to determine the primary indicators used to assess the performance of sustainable supply chain management to improve the palm oil industry's performance immediately. The F-AHP method is used to rank which indicators are focused on the COVID-19 situation and thereafter. The findings of this study designate that there are three main indicators, namely from the economic side (adaptability), the social side (improving employee health and safety), and the environmental side (sustainable supplier management). This finding is beneficial for the industry and for supply chain actors such as suppliers, customers, and the government in taking attitudes and setting policies related to sustainable supply chain management in the face of pandemic.
