Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide further insights into drivers and consequences of supply chain sustainability in a developing country. Specifically, it aims at empirically examining the impact of stakeholder pressures on sustainable supply chain practices as well as the impact of these practices on sustainable performance including environmental, economic, and social dimensions. By means of regression analysis of data collected from 112 firms in a developing country context, the results indicate that pressures by organizational champions and customers are positively related to supply chain sustainability. However, the relationship between government pressures and supply chain sustainability is insignificant. Moreover, the findings provide evidence that the impact of supply chain sustainability on sustainable performance is significantly positive. The paper has important implications for managers, practitioners, and researchers to improve sustainable supply initiatives and sustainable performance in organizations.
