Integrating ESG criteria in supply chains

Abstract

Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Verteilung von Verantwortlichkeiten für soziale und ökologische Investitionen zwischen einem Einzelhändler und einem Hersteller in einer zweistufigen Lieferkette. Mit einem spieltheoretischen Modell werden unterschiedliche Zuweisungen von Verantwortung unter zwei Vertragstypen verglichen: dem „Wholesale-Price“-Vertrag und dem „Two-Part Tariff“-Vertrag. Außerdem wird der Einfluss staatlicher Interventionen als weiteres Entscheidungselement betrachtet. Die Resultate verdeutlichen, dass sich sowohl die ökonomische als auch die nachhaltige Leistung durch geteilte Verantwortlichkeiten der Beteiligten in der Lieferkette erheblich verbessert. Vor allem werden die Resultate einer zentral geplanten Lieferkette durch die Verbindung gemeinsamer ESG- Verantwortlichkeiten mit einem „Two-Part Tariff“-Vertrag übertroffen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine gleichzeitige Optimierung der nachhaltigen und wirtschaftlichen Leistung in Lieferketten möglich ist, vorausgesetzt, die ESG-Verantwortlichkeiten sind korrekt unter den Teilnehmern der Lieferketten verteilt. Die Arbeit unterstreicht die Bedeutung von Zusammenarbeit, geeigneten Vertragsmechanismen und sowie einer langfristigen Strategie zur Förderung von Nachhaltigkeit in Lieferketten.

This thesis examines the allocation of responsibilities for environmental and social investments between a manufacturer and a retailer in a two-stage supply chain. Using a game-theoretic modeling approach, the study compares different responsibility structures under two types of contract: a wholesale-price contract and a two-part tariff contract. The analysis is further extended by including governmental intervention. The results demonstrate that shared responsibilities between supply chain partners result in superior economic and sustainable performance compared to individually assigned Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities. In particular, combining shared ESG responsibilities with a two-part tariff contract leads to outcomes that exceed those of the centralized benchmark scenario. Findings demonstrate that optimizing sustainable and economic performance in supply chains is not mutually exclusive, provided that ESG responsibilities are properly allocated between supply chain participants. The study emphasizes the importance of cooperation, proper contract design, and long-term strategic thinking in achieving sustainability goals in supply chains.
