A chapter in Supply Chain Risk Mitigation, 2022, pp 143-158 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we analyze how sustainability practices can improve the resilience of the supply chain against different types of disruptions. Firstly, we delimit the concept of resilience and its different dimensions in social sciences (pre-adversity capabilities, in-crisis organizing and adjusting, and post-crisis resilience responding and recovery). Secondly, we describe and classify the disruptions firms face related to their supply chain by distinguishing between internal, social, environmental, and global disruptions. Thirdly, we propose resilient practices through which sustainability commitment can foster relationships with suppliers and customers, by creating mechanisms to deal with these four types of disruptions in the supply chain, and by increasing in the three different dimensions of resilience. Finally, we conclude the chapter by analyzing some managerial and academic implications and proposing some topics and ideas for future research.
