Note(s): SEF: Supplier's environmental focus; SET: Supplier's ethical treatment; SDF: Supplier's diversity focus; SHF: Supplier's human rights focus; SSF: Supplier's safety focus; SCF: Supplier's community focus; FP: Financial performance; RI: Resource investment; SSS: Sustainable supplier selection

│t│ ≥ 1.65 at p 0.05 level; ^**│t│ ≥ 2.33 at p 0.01 level; ^***│t│ ≥ 3.09 at p 0.001 level; n.s = Not significant (based on t(4,999), one-tailed test)

R² = Determination coefficients; Q² = Predictive relevance of endogenous (omission distance = 7).

Threshold for R² ≥ 0.25 (weak); ≥0.50 (moderate); ≥0.75 (substantial); Threshold for Q² > 0 indicate predictive relevance
