Abstract

The study of gender diversity in supply chain management (SCM) has been overlooked in the literature and still remains a marginal subject for most companies even though it is part of the Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations. Nevertheless, this chapter provides an overview of the scientific literature on the subject within three frames: from the careers of women in SCM, analyzing the expected benefits of true diversity management in SCM, and to the issue of women and transgender “victims” approach linked to supply chain activities. This overview leads us to ratify the importance of debating gender diversity as a vital issue towards sustainability. Examples of companies’ initiatives and other representative organizations are presented as illustrations of these frames. All the elements presented allow us to draw up managerial implications on the benefits companies could gain from an increased gender diversity and how to get there. Finally, avenues for future research are presented to foster the subject.
