| dc.description.abstract | Stakeholder pressures drive companies to prioritize environmental and social responsibility, aligning with the increasing emphasis on sustainable operations globally, especially in supply chains. The study at Tema Port explores the impact of supply chain sustainability orientation on operations, considering the moderating role of information sharing. Employing the knowledge-based view theory and an explanatory research design, the questionnaire-based study establishes positive and significant relationships between sustainability orientation and operations, as well as sustainability and information sharing. Information sharing is identified as a significant moderator between sustainability orientation and operations. Recommendations include integrating sustainability into supply chain management for long-term benefits, emphasizing sustainability in organizational culture, and collaborating with stakeholders for effective sustainability implementation. Improved communication, information exchange, and enhanced supply chain transparency are crucial for minimizing early implementation costs and reaping long-term advantages. The study highlights the necessity of a collaborative approach, involving stakeholders in sustainable supply chain practices to achieve economic, social, and environmental dimensions in the triple bottom line. | |
