Abstract

The research summarises theory in the fields of supply chain management (SCM) and its extension into sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Recent literature reviews reflect a lack of theoretical development in SSCM. Where present these are imported from other disciplines. A key difference between SCM and SSCM is the latter's need to consider environmental and social externalities. A conceptual review finds that systems theory is a research paradigm shared by SCM, environmental science, social theory and service dominant logic. Meta-synthesis of these is then possible, to inform a conceptual framework for case study research into SSCM practice by proactive companies.
