Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Responsible production and consumption patterns are a core dimension of the United Nations' sustainable development goals. Retailers play an important role in achieving these goals, since they occupy a crucial intersection between production and consumption. In managing and governing global supply chains they shape sustainable development, not only in the Global North but also in the Global South. But how do retailers in the food sector assume responsibility in their global supply chains? To answer this question, we make two contributions: first, we give an overview on the current state of research on Supply Chain Responsibility, focusing on three core concepts: Global Value Chains, Full Producer Responsibility and Global Governance. Based on this review we, secondly, use a qualitative research design to analyze the understanding, limits and opportunities of supply chain responsibility focusing on the Swiss food retailing sector. To this end we conduct expert interviews with professionals of major food retailers and NGOs. Our study shows, that Swiss retailers initiate upgrading processes along the supply chains, extend responsibility to the overall assortment and combine this with a holistic understanding of responsibility. Corresponding to the global governance literature experts report a secondary role of the state, but a crucial role of multi-stakeholder initiatives in advancing supply chain responsibility. |
