This conceptual paper provides an analysis and discussion about intra-organisational knowledge transfer within sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). By adopting the perspective of the knowledge-based theory introduced by Grant (1996) the focus is on the transfer of SSCM associated information and knowledge between functional units. Apart from a characterisation of internal SSCM and cross-functional cooperation, appropriate mechanisms, related opportunities and risks as well as tools are discussed.
