【Abstract】Supply chains and sustainability are both characterized by complex interactions posing multifaceted challenges to managers. Related decision making processes are often ad-hoc and lack structured support mechanisms. To develop sustainability, supply chain managers are advised to continuously improve their business processes and strive for gradual strategic as well as functional alignment between their member organizations. Academic research has thus far offered only limited insights in this regard while practical implementations tend to lack a systematic approach. This research study provides guidance through the identification and description of systemic relationships and models of interaction. A maturity model for sustainable supply chains describing and supporting a structured progression of sustainable supply chain management is provided. Empirical evidence collected through a survey instrument provides substantial support for the accuracy and practical applicability of the relationships proposed by the maturity model. The research offers a solid business case for sustainable supply chain practices and structured maturity development. This work is co-authored with Hendrik Reefke (Cranfield University School of Management) and David Sundaram (The University of Auckland Business School).
