Evaluation of sustainability performance in supply chain management: an empirical research of Vietnam producers’ coordinates suppliers'

Nguyen, Van Phuoc (2020): Evaluation of sustainability performance in supply chain management: an empirical research of Vietnam producers’ coordinates suppliers'.

Abstract

Our research argued the adequacy of sustainability performance in supply chain management (i.e., evaluation and coordinated effort). Based on survey result from 96 Vietnam producers, the paper determines the effect that the two practices have on the producer company’s and the provider’s social performances. SmartPLS was utilized to test the hypothesized connections among practices and execution. Our outcomes propose that while surveying providers adds to improve the purchasing company’s social execution, teaming up with them upgrades the providers’ social execution. However, the paper gives some extra of knowledge on the most proficient method to evaluate sustainability performance.
