Abstract
Supply chain members in the early tiers of the supply chain and/or in bottom of the pyramid (BOP) contexts can struggle to access capital to invest into their own sustainability (e.g. more up-to-date manufacturing equipment). Early indications of this study are that the financial flows in the supply chain can support better sustainability outcomes. Specifically, the paper 1) introduces the concepts of ‘enabling’ and ‘rewarding’ use of SCF tools by linking them to social and environmental goals; 2) highlights that these programs, in order to have the intended TBL impact, need to also occur beyond tier-1 suppliers.
