I am researching the sustainability under TBL approach. I intend to identify levels of sustainability in the focal company and its members (suppliers and clients).

In TBL approach the scales of analysis can be very broad; however, it depends on your aim of the study. There is an interesting discussion around various scales/levels, cross scales /cross level dynamics in :
1. Cash et. al 2006. Scale and Cross-Scale Dynamics: Governance and Information in a Multilevel World
2. Gibson et. al. 2000 The concept of scale and the human dimensions of global change: a survey

We used scales for environmental performance in these papers:

Dear Margareth, I started a structured literature review about sustainability supply chain management. In the link below you may find the papers I collected and their abstracts. If you like, we can discuss your objectives, and help each other in our researches.
Fellows, is there anyone between the present participants on this talking, who knows anything about the possibility of the utiization of composting process to optimize sustainable processes through supply chain, by degradating products made by diferenciated polymers? Thanks.
