Sustainability in Supply Chains: A Study on the Effects of Sustainability on Supplier-Buyer Relationships

Sustainability advanced to an omnipresent topic among academics and business leaders, while at the same time a growing share of a firm's total expenditure accounts for purchased materials and services. Yet, academic research still lacks a detailed understanding of how sustainability considerations affect the relationship between buyers and suppliers in a competitive supply chain setting. With his three articles on Sustainability in Supply Chains, Thomas Leppelt contributes to extant literature across the disciplines of supply chain management and marketing by cross-functionally investigating the effects of sustainability on supplier-buyer relationships from both a supplier and a buyer perspective.
