Supply management and supply chain sustainability
1.1 Montabon, F., Pagell, M., & Wu, Z. (2016). Making
sustainability sustainable. Journal of Supply Chain
Management, 52(2), 11-27.
"Making Sustainability Sustainable" by F. Montabon, M. Pagell, and Z. Wu, published in the Journal of
Supply Chain Management in 2016, is an article that focuses on the challenges of making
sustainability a sustainable part of supply chain management.
The authors argue that while sustainability has become a popular concept in supply chain
management, it has not yet been fully integrated into the practices of organizations. They suggest
that this is because sustainability is often seen as an additional responsibility, rather than an integral
part of supply chain management

, Table 2, stakeholder roles under instrumental and proposed logics, adopted from Montabon et al. (2016)
The authors present a framework for making sustainability a sustainable part of supply chain
management. The framework consists of four components: (1) aligning sustainability with
organizational goals and values, (2) integrating sustainability into decision-making processes, (3)
embedding sustainability into organizational structures and processes, and (4) continuously
monitoring and improving sustainability practices.
1. The authors argue that aligning sustainability with organizational goals and values is crucial
for ensuring that sustainability becomes a sustainable part of supply chain management. This
requires that organizations view sustainability as a long-term investment, rather than a
short-term cost.
2. Integrating sustainability into decision-making processes is also important for making
sustainability a sustainable part of supply chain management. The authors suggest that this
can be achieved by incorporating sustainability considerations into decision-making criteria
and by engaging in stakeholder consultation.
3. Embedding sustainability into organizational structures and processes is essential for
ensuring that sustainability practices are sustained over time. The authors argue that this can
be achieved by incorporating sustainability into performance measurement and
management systems and by creating a culture that values sustainability.
4. Finally, the authors argue that continuously monitoring and improving sustainability practices
is critical for ensuring that sustainability remains a sustainable part of supply chain
management. This requires that organizations regularly assess their sustainability practices
and identify opportunities for improvement.
