"Due to the growing importance of global interdependencies, Corporate Social Responsibility has become an important issue both for the business and the entire society. Customers expect corporate social responsibility, and if an organization is insensitive to these issues, it runs the risk of losing its key customers. The interaction and integration of corporate social responsibility and supply chain management have led to the emergence of sustainable supply chain management. This book is a comprehensive study that deals with the subject of collaboration with suppliers, considering the CSR guidelines. It presents new research about suppliers, their importance in supply chains, and in the context of social responsibility and acts as a new source of content that fills the gap in this area. It may be of interest to researchers interested in CSR as well as supply chains, business relations and, broadly understood, collaboration. It provides knowledge to many recipients including scientists and researchers, advanced students, and graduates"-- Provided by publisher.
