Supply chain sustainability and performance of firms: A meta-analysis of the literature
Open accessAbstract
In recent years, many studies link supply chain sustainability practices to firm performance, since more and more firms are implementing sustainable practices in their manufacturing/services supply chains. This study uses a psychometric meta-analysis to synthesize the results from 167 effect sizes, collected from 129 articles, to understand the impact of various types of sustainability practices (i.e., environmental, social, and combined) on firm performance (Financial and Operational). A sub-group analysis, using industry (manufacturing/service) and economy (developed/developing), was also performed to study the relative strength of sustainability-firm performance relationships in respective categories. The study confirms a positive association between the various aspects of sustainability and firm performance and finds that the strength of sustainability-firm performance relationships grows over time. Findings also suggest a stronger relationship between sustainability-firm performances in manufacturing industries than in service industries. This study provides interesting insights for policymakers and companies in various economies, and it augments the understanding of the impact of sustainable supply chain practices on firm performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
