3.1. Data Collection from Literature Review
- The industry of belongingness of the actors within the SC, since from the analysis of the literature it is evident that there are different opportunities within different industries;
- The SC processes associated with such practices, distinguishing between “procurement” and “distribution”, with the first including all activities involving upstream partners, and the second including those engaging downstream actors;
- The positive business impact associated with the practice, which is independent of the concept of sustainability and refers to market and organizational performance that the focal company can achieve.
