Abstract
Efforts to manage the climate impact of, and labour standards in, supply chains have often been
conducted in isolation. Organizations which negotiate and manage framework agreements for public
sector buyers, the scope of which includes sustainability management (Rogerson et al., 2020), are well placed
to incorporate efforts to address both of these two issues concurrently, especially given their purchasing volume and overall spend. However, we know little of the impact of attempts to manage these risks simultaneously. Our paper therefore investigates supply chain management by a consortium which manages climate and modern slavery risks for members.
