Growing environmental concerns and social responsibility push organizations into seriously considering their strategies in business operations. The implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) is a vital strategy which enables organizations to focus on minimizing environmental issues, improving economic benefits and expanding social outcomes. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between GSCM practices and sustainable performance in Vietnamese construction materials manufacturing enterprises. Based on the data collected from a sample of 218 construction materials manufacturers in Vietnam, the study examines the impact of GSCM elements on firm performance including economic, environmental and social using structural equation modeling. The study finds that green design and green manufacturing had positive and significant effects on three categories of outcomes, whereas green procurement impact on economic and social performance but had no influence on environmental performance. The results also empirically prove that there was a positive relationship between green distribution and environmental performance which is not supported for economic and social perspective. The study also contributes significantly to an ongoing research associated with GSCM practices on sustainable performance in developing countries such as Vietnam where very few studies of GSCM have been revealed. .

This study was conducted to investigate factors impacting the application of environmental management accounting (EMA) and the relationship between EMA application and performance efficiency including financial and environmental sectors. The scope of research was to investigate construction material manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam with medium and large scales, which is considered one of the industries causing significant negative impacts on the environment. The questionnaires were sent to chief management accountants of 600 construction material enterprises in Vietnam from 2018 to 2019. This process obtained 418 valid votes. Using SPSS 22.0 software to process data, the research results indicate that there are six factors that positively influence the application of EMA practices, including government enforcement, stakeholder interest, positive environmental strategies, community expectations, professional education network, and financial condition, of which, government enforcement has the most significant and positive relationship with the adoption of EMA. On the other hand, it appears that the application of EMA positively impacts financial efficiency and environmental efficiency. As found by many previous studies, environmental efficiency also strongly positively impacts financial efficiency. Thus, innovative solutions to reduce environmental pollution can promote enterprises’ profitability.

During the past few years, there has been a growing interest in applications of environmental cost management accounting (ECMA) in different manufacturing industries. ECMA is a useful tool for environmental performance improvement and achieving better financial benefits. Nevertheless, ECMA implementation is in early stages in many countries such as Vietnam. Brick industry is one of the most polluted sectors, which has significant impact on the environment. The purpose of this paper is to provide a clear image of ECMA application in Vietnamese brick manufacturing enterprises. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are used to analyze the participants' attitudes, perceptions and concerns about the potential for applying ECMA. The results indicate that the brick industry adopted low level of ECMA and provide some necessary suggestions to promote the enterprises applying ECMA.

This paper investigates the role of environmental management accounting on sustainable supply chain management and the link between sustainable supply chain management and efficiency including financial and environmental factors using questionnaire-based survey. The study designed and sent questionnaires to 600 construction material manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam and managed to collect 418 valid ones which was processed by SPSS 20.0 software. The results show that environmental management accounting had a significantly positive impact on sustainable supply chain management. Therefore, if enterprises adopt environmental management accounting, they will more likely implement sustainable supply chain management more efficiently. On the other hand, the findings point out that sustainable supply chain management positively affect to both financial and environmental efficiency. Finally, the study provides some sound suggestions to Vietnamese construction materials manufacturing industry. .
