Abstract


This study examines the influence of Sustainable Social Supply Chain Practices (SSSCPs) on Supplier Performance (SP) in the manufacturing industry of Sleman Regency, Indonesia. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using linear regression to investigate the relationship between the variables. The empirical findings indicate that SSSCPs positively influence supplier performance. The study focuses on medium-sized and large manufacturing companies that have operated for at least 10 years in Sleman Regency. The findings emphasize the importance of maintaining ethical labor standards, providing regular training programs for local communities, complying with occupational health and safety regulations throughout the supply chain, and preventing child labor and forced labor. Theoretically, this study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between social sustainability practices and supplier performance in a developing-country context. Practically, the findings offer valuable insights for manufacturing companies seeking to enhance supplier performance, strengthen supply chain sustainability, and improve overall organizational competitiveness through the implementation of socially responsible supply chain practices
