Responsible Sourcing in the Agri-Food Companies: Advancing Sustainability Through Inter-Organizational Collaboration
This study examines how agri-food companies integrate social and environmental issues into their sourcing practices through inter-organizational collaboration. Applying the relational view theory, it maps best practices and key relational mechanisms. A content analysis of 130 sustainability reports highlights that these companies prioritize knowledge-sharing routines and effective governance mechanisms to ensure compliance, risk management, and transparency. However, their limited use of complementary resources and relation-specific assets hinders long-term sustainability synergies. The study showcases innovative collaboration initiatives that enhance responsible sourcing practices, particularly in addressing working conditions, biodiversity conservation, and eco-responsible products. Findings emphasize the need to move beyond transactional relationships and toward strategic partnerships that create shared value and sustainable competitive advantages. The article discusses its contributions, practical implications, and future research directions.
