Abstract

The capability and capacity to implement a sustainable approach to procurement is increasingly becoming an order qualifier in product related globalised businesses. This research aims to identify key factors influencing successful supply network wide implementation of a sustainable approach to procurement. Building on a systems thinking approach, the study develops a conceptual model for sustainable procurement implementation. The drivers and barriers to sustainable procurement are identified based on a literature review and secondary data collected on 85 global firms’ sustainability practices. The research identifies corporate environmental awareness and the commitment of top management as the key drivers for implementing sustainable procurement practices within supply network. The conceptual model identifies three broad categories of drivers along with barriers for the potential adaptation.
