Reportes de sostenibilidad y gestión de la cadena de suministro en la agroindustria: una aproximación teórica

Abstract

The objective of this article is to identify the main factors that influence the formulation of sustainability reports and their implications in the assurance of sustainable supply chains of agribusiness companies. For the methodological development, a content analysis was carried out on 59 scientific articles published between 2003 and 2018 from the Scopus database. These documents were selected by using search equations with keywords as a result of a previous literature review. These scientific documents were processed and analyzed through bibliometric indicators. The predominant findings highlight that the companies that dedicate their efforts to the development of sustainable initiatives and their communication through sustainability reports present a better organizational performance compared to others. In conclusion, factors such as the national and international economic context, the dynamics of the industry, the size of the company and the time horizon, significantly influence the execution of sustainable corporate practices and their supply chains.
