USING AN SEM-BASED PATH ANALYSIS TO EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON A COMPANY'S ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY OF A DEVELOPING ECONOMY

Abstract

This research aims to provide a sizable empirical contribution to the growing body of literature on the effect of SSCM on the financial success of businesses in Karachi, Pakistan. An in-depth model of SSCM performance and best practices is presented and validated through data analysis. Internal and external management and their effects on the business sustainability performance are now part of the framework. Research shows that when companies adopt SSCM methods, it benefits the environment, society, and the businesses themselves. Also, the outcome of environmental performance improvement and social performance improvement is directly tied to economic performance. Economic performance and socially responsible management are impacted indirectly by corporate social responsibility. We conceptualize and empirically evaluate a complete SSCM practices performance model for businesses in Karachi, Pakistan. The study's findings corroborate the postulates that SSCM techniques are sustainable from an ecological, financial, and social point of view for running a firm.
