Politiques d’achats « responsables » de grandes entreprises et institutionnalisation de la RSE : étude des déterminants

The academic literature has studied how the companies incorporate CSR criteria into their purchasing decisions, but the processing and passing on of the CSR criteria to suppliers is of little interest. From five cases studies and interviews with purchasing directors we propose to highlight the main factors (or limits) of distributing this criteria.
