On 16 September 2016 TRAIL PhD student Karimah Wan Ahmad successfully defended her thesis ‘Contextual Factors of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices in the Oil and Gas Industry’ at Delft University of Technology.

Congratulations Karimah!

Short summary
Current research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices in the oil and gas (O&G) industry is still fragmented. Specifically, there is a lack of understanding on the contextual factors within its business and organizational environments that could influence its adoption of the practices. This thesis proposes a multidimensional conceptual framework of SSCM for the O&G industry context and conducts several studies to address this knowledge gap, quantitatively and qualitatively.
