Cover Story: This research demonstrates how socially sustainable supply chain practices can help companies managing social risks upstream of bioenergy supply chains. The study pays special attention to social sustainability risks in countries of raw material origin. The research is based on empirical evidences and offers solutions to multi-national bioenergy production companies on how to manage social risks and make the right decisions before entering potential markets. The findings indicate that even avoidance of market entrance can carry sustainability-related social risks, as no-go decision means missed opportunities for local communities to improve their sustainability status.
