Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a key operation to achieve the important goal of business sustainability. The UN Global Compact developed the ten principles of CSR with the aim of achieving corporate sustainability which will bring about long-term benefits for the operation of the business. Also, supply chain management (SCM) has increased in importance as the key operation for developing value added for increased customer satisfaction and reduced business costs; however, the management also has an effect upon the environmental and social surroundings. Therefore, the integration of CSR in SCM needs to be developed to create operational guidelines for best practice within companies throughout the industrial sector. This paper aims to test the conceptual framework which is reviewed through the five main dimensions from ten principles of CSR and the SCOR model of SCM in order to develop the principle model of CSR in SCM using a case study in the Thai auto parts industry. Survey research is applied in this study using questionnaires. Inferential statistical analysis using the partial least square of structural equation modeling was used for the data analysis involving study respondents whose work is related to the ISO and SCM departments. The findings, confirmatory results of the conceptual framework, and structural equation model of CSR in SCM are presented with five main dimensions and 31 indicators with the aim of achieving corporate sustainability. The industrial sector and the companies within it can apply these guidelines to establish sustainable operational strategies and sustainable policies to create sustainable operations for the company management aiming for business sustainability.
Thai automotive industry needs to be developed for understanding activities management on inbound logistics that is an essential element of business operations for a manufacturing firm. The purpose of research is to study the main activities of green logistics management (inbound logistics) in the Thai automotive industry. Survey research was used in this study to collect data by sampling from the people in the field of logistics and environmental management of Thai automotive industry to examine the key activities of Green logistics management. Inferential statistics analysis using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is applied to determine the key activities that influence to the logistics management in the sense of environmental friendly. There are two finding of research. Firstly, the conceptual framework presents three dimensions i.e. Green Transportation Activity (GTA), Green Purchasing Activity (GPA) and Green Inventory Activity (GIA) for key activities of green logistics management (inbound logistics). Secondly, the measurement model of the main three activities that GTA, GPA, and GIA are tested. The Goodness of fit statistic is 0.546. These suggest the fit of collected data to the hypothesized model.
