Abstract
Purpose: This study proposes a theoretical framework that explores how mediative and nonmediative supply chain power can enhance ESG integration into supply chain practices and improve sustainable supply chain performance. Design/methodology/approach: A critical literature review interprets ESG activities within supply chain practices. The combination of supply chain power and stakeholder theory forms the basis for the research model. The appropriate methodological approach is discussed based on the research question and key variables. Findings: This study establishes a conceptual framework that integrates ESG activities within supply chain practices. We introduce a new theoretical approach to ESG and supply chain integration by combining Stakeholder Theory and Supply Chain Power Theory. This approach offers insights into the underlying mechanisms for effective ESG implementation in supply chain management. Originality/value: The originality of this study lies in its 1) interpretation of ESG activities within supply chain practices and 2) innovative application of supply chain power concepts to ESG implementation.
