Abstract

Sustainability management practices (SMPs) have attracted increasing attentions from supply chain researchers in recent years, whereas research on how firms collaborate with supply chain partners to implement SMPs successfully is still lacking. Drawing on the supply chain learning (SCL) perspective, we propose that supply chain integration (SCI) contributes to the successful implementation of SMPs. A structural equation modeling analysis is employed to test the proposed hypotheses using data collected from the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS) project database. The findings suggest that supplier and customer integration are vital enablers for both intra- and inter-organizational SMPs. Moreover, both intra- and inter-organizational SMPs are verified to be significantly and positively associated with sustainability performance (i.e., economic, environmental and social performance) and function as complements to jointly enhance environmental and social performance simultaneously. This study employs the SCL perspective to incorporate SCI into the sustainability literature, providing a new perspective on sustainability and supply chain management research.
