Abstract: The topic of sustainable supplier evaluation has gained a significant research momentum in the last couple of years. This is evident from the number of papers and studies published recently. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive insight into contemporary theoretical approaches to sustainable supplier governance, as well as to determine the extent of theoretical uniformity and practical applicability of existing knowledge. Firstly, a literature review on supplier evaluation is provided, considering relevant articles from the field. After theoretically differentiating traditional from sustainable supplier evaluation, the paper identifies 4 areas of sustainability in contemporary literature and offers an analysis of existing supplier evaluation criteria from a performance and organizational perspective. In this sense, the lack of theoretical uniformity and interindustrial applicability of existing sustainable supplier evaluation approaches in modern business governance has been confirmed. Both professionals and academics could benefit from derived findings in terms of focusing future research efforts and avoiding the dangers of sustainability myopia.
