N2  - The study of supply networks sustainability is a field with a long path behind. Nonetheless, most studies to date are
focused on the environmental sub dimension of sustainability, while the social perspective in supply chain networks research still shows a potential for pioneering contri butions. Moreover, from the development standpoint we have observed a paradigm shift advancing from a narrow concept of development, centered on purely economic
dimensions, towards more refined issues such as inclusive business, shared value or poverty footprint, all of which
are highly related to supply chain activities. In this paper
we present a review of the current state of the art on social sustainability of supply chains and we identify the main existing trends in this field. After conducting this study, we can state that a new sphere of knowledge is
emerging at the interface between sustainable supply chain networks and development research. The academic community is called to play an important dovetailing role in this scenario by advancing both conceptual and methodological contributions.
