Abstract
Supply chain management is a source of competitive advantages for firms and is becoming an increasingly important part of the business. Firms, on a strategic level, have it in their best interest to operate in a way that leverages their partnership with their suppliers to form sustainable strategic advantages which include but are not limited to product innovation & design, operational efficiency, shared cost savings, and collaborative planning, forecasting, & inventory. A collaborative supply chain that yields these benefits is only possible through the exercise of the justice dimensions of procedural, distributive, and interactional justice which are related to fair decision making, fair reward, and fair communication. Christian business ethics advocate for a practice of business that enables collaborative supply chain to take place and the paper examines how the application of Christian Business ethics, or religiously informed perspectives in general, can be helpful to an organization's considerations of their ethical principles.

Supply Chain Collaboration Under a Christian Business Ethics Lens
Supply chain management is a source of competitive advantages for firms and is becoming an increasingly important part of the business. Firms, on a strategic level, have it in their best interest to operate in a way that leverages their partnership with their suppliers to form sustainable strategic advantages which include but are not limited to product innovation & design, operational efficiency, shared cost savings, and collaborative planning, forecasting, & inventory. A collaborative supply chain that yields these benefits is only possible through the exercise of the justice dimensions of procedural, distributive, and interactional justice which are related to fair decision making, fair reward, and fair communication. Christian business ethics advocate for a practice of business that enables collaborative supply chain to take place and the paper examines how the application of Christian Business ethics, or religiously informed perspectives in general, can be helpful to an organization's considerations of their ethical principles.
