Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social and ethical issues in the supply chain are gaining importance in all types of organizations. Therefore some public and private organizations have already started to introduce socially responsible purchasing practices. However, current practices are limited and seem unsystematic. There is also a difference between few front-running organizations and the rest. It is therefore useful at this early stage to disseminate the knowledge and experiences based on the best-performing organizations. This paper does that by developing a model of the socially responsible purchasing process that is based on the empirical and secondary data. The model reveals the five elementary steps that are necessary in the implementation of systematic socially responsible purchasing practices: developing internal policies; setting purchasing criteria that regard social issues; applying assurance practices; managing supplier relations; and building internal capacity. The model also points to the different activities in the process and their associated challenges. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

Sustainable businesses practices in supply chains: learning from Swedish companies
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Businesses play a vital role in building a more sustainable society by practicing and promoting more socially and environmentally responsible practices along supply chains. The social and environmental conduct of Western companies in their respective countries is usually rather strong due to the existing strong legislation on human rights, working conditions, freedom of trade unions, etc. In developing countries however the situation is quite different. There is often no strong local legislation that promotes high environmental and social standards at work place or it is not implemented efficiently. Western companies often become an important driver for initiating and strengthening the work on sustainability issues. However, assuming the role of change facilitator is associated with many challenges and companies often need help with defining strategies and specific steps for improving sustainability of their supply chain. In this study we explore challenges faced by companies working with sustainability issues in the supply chain, based on studies of the practices of Swedish companies.
