 2 Surveys

Survey 1

I am reaching out to seek your valuable insights for my ongoing PhD research at Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland, UK.

My study focuses on managing social sustainability risks in global supply chains, a critical yet often overlooked area in sustainability practices. The research is conducted in two parts: this survey marks the first part, and the second part will involve a case study. Participation is entirely voluntary for both parts.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes, and your input would be invaluable in helping to advance knowledge and best practices in this field. As a small thank-you, participants can opt into a prize draw for gift vouchers.

Your insights will help shape future strategies to make supply chains more socially sustainable. I would be deeply grateful for your support and expertise in this important research.

Please feel free to share this survey with sustainability experts within your organisation or among your professional network who might also be interested in contributing.
If you have any questions or need further information, do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and support!
 
Kind regards
