Abstract

In today’s globalized world, characterized by complex supply chain networks, integrating sustainability supply chain risks into the corporate assessment models seems crucial. To tackle the global challenges this paper presents a Sustainability Risk Assessment Framework that allows measurement of environmental and social risks upstream and downstream, along global supply chains, using a combination of quantitative methods (environmental and social footprint computing tools) and qualitative methods (hotspots analysis) from three dimensions (by scenarios, by product components, by lifecycle stage). To test this framework this study focuses on the mobile phone industry, due to the importance of its environmental and social impacts. The results show the low impact of recycling strategies in environmental terms and social terms on the mobile phone industry. Fostering re-use strategies by companies will substantially improve their impacts. This framework overcomes some of the weaknesses of the corporate sustainability risk assessment methodologies, combining quantitative methods and qualitative methods.
