Summary: Today's global supply chains need a paradigm shift towards sustainability, requiring partnership relationships among supply chain members. However, existing literature lacks a comprehensive understanding of these partnerships. This research conducts a structured review methodology to gather information on supply chain partnerships for sustainable sourcing. The study finds that cooperative partnerships are ineffective for promoting sustainable sourcing, while coordinative partnerships are effective for tactical and operational initiatives. Collaborative partnerships should be initiated at the strategic level for proactive solutions.
