So far, firms and scholars have framed these supply chain sustainability risks (SCSR) mainly as risks to the enterprise. The required shift toward this outward-facing approach to SCSR calls for new management practices. To investigate the extent to which the current SCSR literature can inform this new approach, we conducted a systematic literature review of 66 articles published between 2004 and 2024 and compared them with the supply chain due diligence outlined in international guidelines. The current SCSR literature is largely misaligned with the outward-facing approach to risk, relying on compliance-based identification measures and firm-centered impact assessments, while overlooking potentially affected stakeholder perspectives and consequences of SCSR management for suppliers and sourcing regions. We outline several future research avenues to bridge these gaps, including stakeholder-led identification, science-based assessment methods, fair cost distribution measures, and responsible disengagement strategies. With this work, our study guides researchers in producing knowledge that can support firms both in preventing the potential adverse impacts of their supply chains and in meeting regulatory requirements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"32 2","pages":"Article 101083"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147412163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the relationship between CSDD and Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) Practices, and in doing so, explains how CSDD can be understood as a process within SSCM. A systematic, content-analysis-based review of 70 peer-reviewed articles, using contingency analysis, highlights the association between CSDD and SSCM practices. Key findings include a reliance on codes of conduct and auditing as the main drivers for ensuring supplier compliance with working condition standards. However, over-reliance on auditing to identify and track the management of labour abuses in focal firm supply chains is problematic, given widely documented issues with the reliability of audit reports in global supply chains. Through the lens of institutional theory, decoupling was identified at the supplier level in the form of mock compliance, and at the focal firm level through the deployment of strategic ambiguity in reporting practices. To enhance supplier compliance with social standards, the study recommends partner development programs and engaging in joint problem-solving to address the root causes of the violations. The findings of this study highlight significant gaps in the literature, emphasising the need for further research on human rights in the supply chain management field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"32 2","pages":"Article 101089"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147412164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One reason is the lack of sustainability awareness and understanding due to limited sustainability learning. Sustainability learning involves acquisition of sustainability-related knowledge and behaviours. Supply chain sustainability practices underpinned by supply chain sustainability learning mechanisms are likely to have lasting effects than those driven by compliance, which can be superficial and short term oriented. However, it is unclear what learning mechanisms enable the effective deployment of supply chain sustainability practices. Conducting a systematic literature review adopting a practice-based view of supply chain sustainability, this study examines the intersection of supply chain sustainability learning and supply chain sustainability practices literature. Employing content, frequency and contingency analysis techniques on fifty-five peer-reviewed journal articles, we reveal: (1) frequently studied supply chain sustainability practices, learning mechanisms and associated outcomes, (2) configuration of learning mechanisms impacting the levels of the supply chain and phases of learning and development, (3) three distinct clusters of learning mechanisms that enable specific supply chain sustainability practices and outcomes. Undertaking a practice-based view and positioning learning mechanisms as mediators of supply chain sustainability practices, this study contributes to theory and practice by identifying learning mechanisms supporting supply chain sustainability. Future research should investigate 1) digital platforms as emerging learning tools, 2) learning mechanisms in social settings such as communities of practice and, 3) identification and development of individual champions and institutional entrepreneurs as drivers of sustainability learning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"32 2","pages":"Article 101060"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147412166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To extend the theory, we have developed an in-depth, deductive analysis. Our findings demonstrate that SD is a concept whose interest consistently grew over time. We found multiple resources available and needed for SD that are often discussed in RDT, such as human and financial resources. Surprisingly, the relational resource, related to interaction-based decision-making, was mapped as an extension of the literature, which is more focused on traditional resources. In terms of power relations, our results were organized according to the nature of buyer-supplier relationships into private and public, and revealed that although mediated power is still the most prominent to implement an SD program, other sources of active and passive power emerged in our data analysis. Our findings also shed light on the interplay of power sources.

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review its progress to date and contribute to its future development. It does so by undertaking descriptive and thematic analyses on 119 academic articles, which help to shed light on the characteristics of the subject and its research themes. Five overarching themes emerge: systemic barriers, policy and practice interventions, SME capacity, SME performance and sustainability in the public sector. The paper subsequently organises these themes into a conceptual framework as a first step towards theorization. The framework identifies the systemic and organisational factors that influence SME involvement and the outcomes for suppliers, public sector organisations and the marketplace that stem from such involvement. By integrating the various strands of research in this way, a clearer picture of SME involvement in public procurement starts to take shape. In addition to the conceptual framework, the paper critically evaluates what research has revealed to date while pinpointing areas that deserve future scholarly attention. Relevant in respect of the latter is explicit theoretical framing of issues like SMEs’ capacity to compete, sensitivity to the heterogeneity of SMEs’ as public sector suppliers, and empirical attention to under-explored aspects like typologies of SMEs’ motivations.

Contagion effects refer to the phenomenon where certain behaviors, reflected through observable practices, spread through buyer-supplier networks, in this case, environmental behaviors from buyers to their suppliers. Drawing upon Social Contagion Theory, we examine both positive and negative contagion effects, driven by a buyer's environmental performance and ESG-related reputational risk, respectively. The study finds that a buyer's strong environmental performance does not directly lead to improved supplier stewardship. However, when suppliers are more relatively dependent on the buyer, the positive contagion effect is more likely to emerge, enhancing suppliers' observable environmental stewardship behaviors. Conversely, a buyer's ESG-related reputational risk does not inherently result in poor supplier environmental stewardship, though the positive contagion effect may be weakened when the buyer faces higher ESG risks. The study employs a Tobit regression model, analyzing data from 678 buyer-supplier dyads within the manufacturing sector. These findings contribute to the literature by highlighting the conditional nature of contagion effects in supply chains and providing managerial insights into how buyers can effectively promote supplier environmental stewardship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47950,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"Article 101088"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
