In today's sustainable economic world, the rational thought should be the costs of life cycle, resources or supply chain process. Supply chains need to possess agility to achieve environmental performance (EP) and social performance (SP). However, at present, there is very little knowledge and awareness of how these two concepts interact within a supply chain. This paper therefore, aims to develop a conceptual framework to depict how green supply chain agility (GSCA) strengthens the EP and SP within the supply chain. In this study, a self-administered questionnaire was designed based on important criteria identified in the literature, and then administered to 230 organisations representing various industries which are part of EMS ISO 14001 certified manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The results showed that GSCA improves the performance of a firm environmentally and socially, and the control variables have no significant influence on the dependent variables.

In today's sustainable world the thinking should be what is the life cycle costs, resources or supply chain process. The rapid industrialization had caused negative impact on the environment because of the increase in the pollution, waste, and rapid consumption of natural resources. This chapter is reviews the previous literature on current practices and future direction of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), thus, it can increase practitioner's understanding of the importance and value of sustainable supply chain practices. A wide literature review is conducted to identify the relative important factors constitute of Sustainable Supply Chain Integration framework. Content analysis is introduced and applied for reviewing literature reviews of supply chain management, published in English-speaking peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2014. A descriptive evaluation of the literature body is followed by a content analysis on the basis of a specific pattern of analytic categories derived from a typical research process. With best understanding the concept of SSCM and gap identification from literature review, this chapter can contribute to extended model of SSCM and enhance firm competitiveness. This understanding is vital due to the increase of economic importance of sustainable supply chains in addition to their role in enhancing competitive power of companies in international markets.
