Carbon market sensitive sustainable supply chain network design

Sustainable Supply Chain Design in Social Businesses: Advancing the Theory of Supply Chain

“…Two notable exceptions in the last years are the work by Ramudhin et al. (), who searched for an optimal distribution center location and transport mode to minimize costs (e.g., in purchasing, production, warehousing), environmental considerations of greenhouse gas emissions, and also at least mentioned social considerations, which could be captured by evaluating the improvement of standards of living and quality of life in the communities around the supply chain, and Chaabane et al. (, ), who further developed this research.…”

Green supply chain coordination with greenhouse gases emissions management: a game-theoretic approach

“…To maximize the net present value and minimize environmental impact for sustainable chemical supply chains, Guillen-Gosalbez and Grossmann (2009) presented a supply chain network design model to determine the supply chain configuration and the planning decisions. Ramudhin et al (2010) was the first to propose a carbon market sensitive strategic planning model for sustainable supply chain network design. More recently, Chaabane et al (2012) presented a mixed-integer linear programming based framework to integrate sustainable supply chain design with life cycle assessment (LCA) principles.…”

“…The carbon market (emissions trading), recognized as the most cost-effective mechanism to reduce GHG emissions (Labatt and White 2007), has been implemented in Guangdong Province of China since March, 2014. In this market, GHG emissions are calculated based on emission factors and converted to carbon dioxide equivalent quantity (Ramudhin et al 2010). The total turnover of its first auction for carbon dioxide emissions credits on Sep. 26th, 2014 hit USD 8,491,600 (http://www.cnemission.com/article/news/jysdt /201409/20140900000807).…”

Economic and environmental considerations in a continuous review inventory control system with integrated transportation decisions

“…However, as noted by Dekker et al (2012), profit maximization (or cost minimization) is not the only objective for companies. Many studies on sustainable supply chains, therefore, consider not only economic objectives such as cost minimization or profit maximization but also environmental objectives such as emission minimization (see, e.g., Li et al, 2008;Kim et al, 2009;Ramudhin et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2011;Bouchery et al, 2012;Chaabane et al, 2012).…”
