Sustainable supply chainsPerko, Igor (Avtor) Gaudio, Giovanna del (Avtor) Potočan, Vojko (Avtor) requisite holismstakeholderssupply chainsustainabilitysystems thinkingviable systems modelOur study explored the relationships between supply chain (SC) members and theirlocal and global stakeholders in achieving sustainability goals based on requisite ho-listic analysis and system dynamics modeling, which goes beyond the previous at-tempts to improve SC sustainability. In this research, we first developed a model thataddresses the basic holistic treatment of SC sustainability; in a second model of sus-tainable SC (SSC), we then considered requisite holistic interactions among its stake-holders. We used the theory-based viable system model to diagnose the proposedholistic model of SSC. The results show that especially the low-tier SC members re-quire supporting frameworks to develop and maintain the capacity for sustainable in-teractions with nature and society. These supportive frameworks should be providedby the regulatory bodies, society, and nature representatives to surpass the limitedSC profit-oriented incentives and structures. The implications of the proposed modelsare aimed at developing supportive SC sustainable policies and improving the capaci-ties of SC members to coexist with local social and natural environments. Regulators,society, and the natural environment representatives can apply the proposed modelsto establish new policies for sustainable interactions between SC members and othersocietal stakeholders.J.
