Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper critically analysed the impact of Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) on sustainable supply chains. Also limited reference to Zimbabwe and all the efforts that are being done to comply with this new dispensation of sustainable supply chains was made. However, useful examples from around the world were also explored bring out the impact of CSR on supply chains. The paper made use of literature from textbooks and journals to examine the concept of sustainable supply chains and clearly highlighted the impact of corporate social responsibility on these supply chains. Due to increasing pressures to be competitive in the markets, most companies are turning to international markets for competitive prices and quality for materials. This has however resulted in supply chains becoming more complex especially with the advent of mounding pressures for corporations to be more responsible socially and environmentally. According to Van Weele (2010) the idea of corporate social responsibility “is to develop business solutions in such a way that requirements of the current world population are met without doing harm to the needs of future generationsâ€.
