Socially Sustainable Supply Chain Management Across Developing Economies: An Abstract

Sustainability and practices to improve it are becoming increasingly important in the ever-changing business world. Such practices are becoming the norm in supply chain management as it encompasses many of the business processes that impact and are impacted by sustainability. The majority of research on sustainability in supply chain management is aimed toward environmental and/or economic aspects of sustainability, while social sustainability continues to receive less attention (Ashby et al. 2012; Carter and Easton 2011; Mani et al. 2016a; Seuring 2013; Seuring and Muller 2008). However, social problems in the supply chain over recent years have amplified attention toward such issues. This is especially true in developing economies (countries that do not have a highly developed capital market).
