Abstract

Živimo v 21. stoletju, ko so trgi in podjetja med seboj vedno bolj povezani in soodvisni. Zaradi tega so oskrbne verige podjetij postale obsežnejše, bolj zapletene in pomembnejše za doseganje mednarodne konkurenčnosti podjetij. Povečevanje pomena družbene odgovornosti in trajnostnega poslovanja narekuje podjetjem, da te vidike upoštevajo tudi v svojih oskrbnih verigah. Podjetja želijo poslovati uspešno, želijo biti najboljša v svoji panogi in pri tem so se pričela zavedati, da so za njihov uspeh ključne tudi njihove mednarodne oskrbne verige. Zaradi tega so pričela iskati načine, kako jih izboljšati, da bodo konkurenčnejša. Trajnost sestavljajo trije pomembni stebri, in sicer ekonomski, družbeni in okoljski. V sklopu magistrskega dela smo jih predstavili in utemeljili, zakaj je pomembno, da podjetje upošteva vse tri. Opisali smo tudi njihovo medsebojno povezanost in kako drug na drugega vplivajo. Upoštevanje vidikov trajnosti od podjetij zahtevajo potrošniki, kot tudi pristojne nacionalne in nadnacionalne organizacije. Za podjetja je ključno, da trajnostne vidike vključujejo v vse člene oskrbne verige in nato merijo njihove učinke. Proučujejo jih lahko s kazalniki, ki pokažejo, ali je bilo vključevanje trajnostnih vidikov zadostno in na katera področja morajo biti še posebej pozorni. Uspešno vključevanje trajnostnih vidikov v mednarodno oskrbno verigo prinaša podjetju prednosti in priložnosti. V času negotovosti in zdravstvene krize podjetja še v večji meri razmišljajo kako zmanjšati tveganja in kako poslovati na način, da bi kljub krizi delovali uspešno. Hkrati jih vedno večja konkurenca sili, da iščejo nove načine poslovanja. Zato je vedno bolj v ospredju trajnostna mednarodna oskrbna veriga. V sklopu empirične analize magistrskega dela so sodelovala tri uveljavljena slovenska podjetja, ki že vključujejo trajnost v svoje mednarodne oskrbne verige, in sicer Steklarna Hrastnik, Plastika Skaza in Talum. Zavedajo se, da se morajo nenehno truditi za rast in konkurenčnost na domačem in tujih trgih. Vsa tri podjetja spadajo v proizvodni sektor. Skupno imajo to, da jim vključevanje trajnosti v njihove mednarodne oskrbne verige prinaša prednosti in priložnosti pri poslovanju.

Secondary title: ǂThe ǂadvantages and opportunities of sustainable international supply chains' management in manufacturing companies
Secondary abstract: We live in the 21st century, when markets and companies are increasingly interconnected and interdependent. As a result, business supply chains have become larger, more complex and more important for achieving international business competitiveness. The increasing importance of social responsibility and sustainable business dictates that companies take these aspects into account in their supply chains, as well. Companies want to do business successfully, they want to be the best in their industry, and they are beginning to realize that their international supply chains are also key to their success. Because of this, they started looking for ways to improve them to make them more competitive. Sustainability consists of three important pillars, namely economic, social and environmental. As part of our master's thesis, we presented them and substantiated why it is important for a company to consider all three. We also described their interconnectedness and how they affect each other. Consumers, as well as relevant national and transnational organizations, are required to take sustainability aspects into account. It is crucial for companies to integrate sustainability aspects into all links in the supply chain and then measure their effects. They can be examined with indicators that show whether the integration of sustainability aspects has been sufficient and which areas need special attention. Successfully integrating sustainable aspects into the international supply chain brings benefits and opportunities to a company. In times of uncertainty and health crisis, companies are even more thinking about how to reduce risks and how to operate in a way that would be successful despite the crisis. At the same time, increasing competition is forcing them to look for new ways to do business. That is why a sustainable international supply chain is increasingly at the forefront. As part of the empirical analysis of the master's thesis, three established Slovenian companies that already include sustainability in their international supply chains participated, namely Steklarna Hrastnik, Plastika Skaza and Talum. They are aware that they must constantly strive for growth and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. All three companies belong to the manufacturing sector. What they have in common is that integrating sustainability into their international supply chains brings them benefits and opportunities in doing business.
