Abstract

This research is about the development of a competence model for sustainable purchasing and supply management (SPSM) implementation. It addresses the research gap in this area with the aim to foster the integration of sustainability in purchasing and supply management (PSM) higher education and in professional training approaches for PSM professionals. The SPSM competence model is based on the findings of a systematic literature review and a Delphi study with 16 experts in the field of PSM and sustainability, applying the critical incident technique (CIT). The theoretical background is based on different academic disciplines.
