Abstract

Supply chain finance (SCF) can play a role in improving supply chain (SC) sustainability. That is why academics have started investigating the connection between SCF and sustainable SC management, and practitioners have begun developing new SCF solutions with a sustainable orientation. Although SCF solutions have been suggested as supporting tools for the diffusion of sustainability within SCs, academic contributions have only partially investigated sustainable SCF (SSCF). There is the need to understand in greater detail first, how different SC sustainability practices (e.g., supplier assessment, supplier development, incentives to suppliers, and third-party involvement) can be integrated into SCF solutions; second, how different brokerage roles can facilitate this integration to contribute to the successful implementation of an SSCF solution. This paper investigates those aspects through multiple international exploratory case studies. The results confirm that SCF solutions become sustainable by integrating different SC sustainability practices, either embedded in the SSCF solutions or reinforced by the implementation of the solutions. Moreover, involving new actors, including third-party information providers, NGOs, and certification bodies, who assume different brokerage roles, positively influences the development of SSCF solutions.

构建可持续供应链金融:如何整合供应链可持续性实践和供应链金融解决方案?
供应链金融可以在提高供应链可持续性方面发挥重要作用。这就是为什么学者们开始研究可持续供应链和可持续供应链管理之间的联系,从业者们开始开发新的可持续导向的可持续供应链解决方案。虽然SCF解决方案已被建议作为可持续性在sc内扩散的支持工具,但学术贡献仅部分研究了可持续SCF (SSCF)。首先需要更详细地了解不同的供应链可持续性实践(例如,供应商评估、供应商发展、对供应商的激励和第三方参与)如何集成到供应链解决方案中;第二,不同的代理角色如何促进这种集成,从而为成功实现SSCF解决方案做出贡献。本文通过多个国际探索性案例对这些方面进行了研究。研究结果证实,通过整合不同的供应链可持续性实践,供应链可持续性解决方案变得可持续,这些实践要么嵌入到供应链可持续性解决方案中,要么通过实施解决方案得到加强。此外,包括第三方信息提供者、非政府组织和认证机构在内的新参与者承担不同的经纪角色,对SSCF解决方案的发展产生积极影响。
