Abstract

This research investigates the relationship of environmental sustainability with the key supply chain stakeholders that form the base for the social dimension of sustainability. Employing the perspective of stakeholder theory in the area of supply chains, we find that improving environmental sustainability results in the strongest relationship with the customers in which it operates. Similarly, relationships with suppliers, employees, and community are also significant. The community relationship is the weakest Smart PLS for structural equation modeling is used to determine the nature of relationship. The results suggest that practitioners should strategize relationship with stakeholders by focusing on both social and environmental aspects of sustainability. It also enhances the reputation and brand value of the firm. The paper also contributes in extending the stakeholder theory within the domain of sustainable supply chain management.
