Corporate Supply Chain Responsibility: Drivers and Barriers for Sustainable Food Retailing
(2015) In Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management 22(2). p.65-82- Abstract

Interestingly some of these factors are beyond the trivial driver-barrier dichotomy. This paper is of interest to food retailers who aim to design sustainable supply chain strategies and justify associated investments, and for policymakers who aim to support retailers in their transition towards sustainable practices.
