Sumario: Knowledge about sustainable supply chain practices in developing economiesis still lacking. Consequently, this research empirically exploresthe organizational antecedents and the implementation of SustainableSupply Chain Management (SSCM) practices for a purposeful sampleof focal firms in Colombia. A semi-structured qualitative research designis followed. This study contributes to the development of SSCMtheory by providing empirical grounds for understanding the nature ofthese practices and the extent of their implementation in a particularindustrial context, as well as by assessing whether and how they affectthe focal firms’ competitiveness. Additionally, the main results suggestthat environmental and social responsibilities are increasingly importantissues for the stakeholders of focal companies in emergent economies.
