The text is a project paper about the role of NGOs in Supply Chain Management (SCM). It begins with an introduction that explains the growing relevance of sustainability and social responsibility in global supply chains. The author outlines that companies increasingly cooperate with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to improve ethical standards, environmental performance, and transparency in production and logistics.
The paper’s main objective is to analyze how NGOs influence, support, and sometimes challenge companies within the supply chain. It discusses different types of NGO involvement—such as partnerships, monitoring, standard setting, and advocacy—and highlights how these relationships can foster more sustainable and socially responsible practices.
In addition, the paper presents theoretical foundations of SCM and sustainability, examines real-world examples of NGO–business collaboration, and evaluates both the benefits and challenges of such cooperation.
Overall, the project aims to provide a structured understanding of the strategic and operational significance of NGOs in modern supply chain management, without yet revealing the specific findings or conclusions.
