Sustainability of Logistics and Supply Chain Operations Through Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives

Bvepfepfe B.

Logistics and Transport

2017

Vol. 36, No. 4

25--42

So much pressure abounds for supply chains to deliver goods and services in the right quantity, quality, to the right place and at the right time and least cost possible. It is an acceptable fact that supply chain operations, local or global, face numerous unforeseen challenges that expose them to ineffective and inefficient performance. It is evident that organizations that manage environmental, social and economic risks are better positioned to deliver sustainable supply chain operations. The next generation of supply chain management should not be comfortable with the old adage of out-of-sight out-of-mind behaviour as this presents an unacceptable reputational risk level to the sustainability of logistics business operations. Research Approach: The research adopted a mixed methodology that employed a comparative case study approach, semi-structured questionnaires and content analysis to analyse in order to explain the institutional and stakeholder influences on organizational CSR in supply chains for UK and SA based organizations. Findings and Originality: The findings here argue that sustainability of logistics and supply chain operations should consider stakeholder perceptions and respond to various institutional pressures within the institutional settings. Research Impact: The research makes a significant contribution to the specialist body of knowledge by providing insights into corporate sustainability practices in the two countries from an institutional and stakeholder perspectives.
