Various supply chain stakeholders show an increasing interest in environmental and social issues related to business, since it has become a crucial factor in creating competitive advantage. Among the concepts that have been used – apart from CSR – are sustainable development, corporate citizenship, sustainable entrepreneurship, the triple bottom line, and business ethics. The need for CSR in supply chains should particularly be seen in light of the fact that a large part of their operations is conducted through systems of governance, which link firms together in various sourcing and contracting arrangements. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept of large relevance for business in general and within logistics specifically. Responsibility of businesses involved in supply chains can increasingly be found high on the CSR-agenda of European companies and governments. However, despite all these efforts and standards, a number of CSR issues connected to logistics issues still remain unsolved. One of these areas is the relationship between risk situations and social and environmental issues, which companies in the supply chain try to manage. In literature many different sources of logistic risks for supply chain management were discussed. Even though there is a stream of literature investigating risk in supply chains, there has been little research applied to the precise analysis of logistics risk within the framework of the CSR concept. The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to provide insight into the role of different types of risk connected to logistics processes while implementing the main areas of the CSR concept.

In dynamic supply networks, based on large degree of outsourcing, risk is increasing. In literature many different sources of risk for supply chain management were discussed. Even though there is a rich stream of literature investi-gating risk in supply chains, there has been little research applied to the precise risk that exists with inbound supply at manufacturing companies1. Manufacturers often outsource portions of their operations as a result of “make-or-buy” decisions, having it based on different reasons. In that case research in risk and its management deals with the level of inter-organizational relationships2. External suppliers represent diversified levels of innovations concerning their products and/or technologies; they are often classified as “innovative suppliers”3. Certain degree of innovation was clearly identified as a source of risk and uncertainty in supply chains4. Also the relationships between manufacturers and their suppliers may be based on partnerships or they may demonstrate more opportunistic behavior of engaged parties. The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to analyze the problem of impact of innovative suppliers on technological and behavioral risk in manufacturers’ supply chains.
