Conventional supply chain flows are thus connected with moral responsibility.Research limitations/implicationsResponsibility issues in supply chain management need to include supply chain links created by monetary and information flows, as well as material flows.Practical implicationsSupply chain actors need to consider responsibility across their entire supply chain, which includes material, monetary and information flows.Originality/valueFoliated transportation networks, moral disengagement and different types of responsibility are combined in a novel way to facilitate a better understanding of responsibility in supply chains.
