Abstract:
The aim of the study is to focus on safety practices, environmental cooperation practices and sustainable manufacturing to identify a set of key practices that drive social sustainability performance in manufacturing firms. It also investigates the moderation role of internal environmental investment (IEI) on the relationship between social supply chain management practices (SSCMPs) and social sustainability performance. Using a sample of 272 manufacturing firms, it was empirically tested the proposed conceptual model. The results provided the support that the social sustainability performance at firm level is dependent on the broader practices of social supply chain, most importantly on safety practices and green manufacturing practices. The discoveries give important bits of knowledge to the specialists, academicians and arrangement creators; firms can utilise these practices to oversee and enhance the social manageability execution.
