Abstract

In our globalized economy, multinational enterprises are increasingly required to enforce sustainability principles not only in their own organizational context, but also their legally independent business partners along geographically spread supply chains. Against this background, the chapter determines the role of Sustainable HRM in international supply chains. Drawing on pertinent literature as well as expert interviews and group discussions conducted within a research project on governance for sustainability in international value creation chains, the author strives for bringing in new impulses as well as implications for practice and future research in the field of Sustainable HRM in international supply chains.

The International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (ITT) scandal in Chile is often referred to as a starting point of the debate. In the early 1970s, it was revealed that the US company had been involved in attempts to overthrow the democratically elected Popular Unity government led by Salvador Allende, which led to rising attention on the activities of MNEs in developing countries (Fuchs 2005 and Jenkins 2001).

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) EPZs can be defined as “industrial zones with special incentives set up to attract foreign investors, in which imported materials undergo some degree of processing before being re-exported”, with incentives comprising e.g. taxation, customs’ duties or labor laws. While initially focusing on assembly and simple processing activities, over the years EPZs have evolved to include high tech and science parks, finance zones, logistics centers and even tourist resorts.
