Overview

Randomized trial explores sustainability approaches in supply chains, suggesting a broader perspective is needed.

Key Points

  • This research aims to address the limitations of sustainability analysis in supply chain management by introducing a footprint perspective.
  • Introduce the footprint perspective as a complementary approach to traditional supply chain analysis.
  • Compare assumptions of the buying firm perspective with the footprint perspective.
  • Outline an empirical playbook for applying the footprint perspective in practice.
  • Demonstrated that focusing solely on individual buying firms can lead to insufficient understanding of socio-ecological impacts.
  • Highlighted the need to consider interactions among multiple supply chains and local actors to effectively address sustainability.
  • Emphasized how examining localities as a unit of analysis can reveal underlying socio-ecological issues.
