“…Small and medium enterprises (SME's) have a huge contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Thailand, particularly the automotive parts industry of Thailand (Na-Nan et al 2020). It is expected to become the global hub of green innovative industry (Suraraksa and Shin 2019). Due to expansion of the automotive industry, the suppliers of auto parts are increasing in the market (Rastogi 2018).…”

“…Due to expansion of the automotive industry, the suppliers of auto parts are increasing in the market (Rastogi 2018). As per estimates of Suraraksa and Shin (2019), local manufacturers have over 80% of the share in auto parts production. Therefore, it is essential to understand the importance of factors affecting the performance of the auto parts industry in Thailand.…”

Since environmental issues are becoming an integral part of business performances, policymakers and managers have started recognizing the importance of green innovation towards sustainable business performances. The role of the automotive parts industry is crucial in minimizing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable development. Yet few studies have focused on the connection between green entrepreneurial orientation and green innovation that may affect small and medium enterprise (SME) business performance. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of green entrepreneurial orientation on green innovations, and its effects on sustainable business performances in the automotive parts industry in Thailand. The sample consists of 226 SMEs in the automotive parts industry in Thailand. The partial least square method (PLS-SEM) has been used for the analysis of data. The results of the study show that green innovations have the strongest influence on economic and environmental performances. This study contributes to resource-based view theory by incorporating green innovation as a strategic competency of SMEs’ performance. Further, green entrepreneurial orientation and green innovation can assist SME managers in understanding the factors leading to sustainable performance of businesses.

“…In this study, we classified four criteria under the social dimension, namely social responsibility, compliance with regulations (respect for policy), information disclosure and work safety procedures. Work safety procedures ( SC1 ) refer to the processes that suppliers implement to ensure the safety of the work environment and the healthy well-being of employees ( Grant et al, 2017 , Suraraska and Shin, 2019 ). Respect for policy/ compliance with regulations ( SC2 ) is associated with suppliers’ compliance with regulations and policies enacted by the industrial sector and other regulatory agencies for actualizing sustainability objectives ( Orji and Wei, 2015 , Villena and Gioia, 2018 ).…”

Over the years, sustainable supplier selection (SSS) has become increasingly popular among scholars and practitioners as a viable means to actualize supply chain sustainability. Little, however, is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable supplier selection particularly in the manufacturing sector. In this paper, we present pandemic response strategies as a significant aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact and investigate the relative importance of such strategies in SSS implementation. Drawing upon a rich data pool from the Nigerian manufacturing sector, we proposed an integrated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology to analyse the interrelationships between the COVID-19 pandemic response strategies and Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL) criteria for SSS. Our analysis shows that economic criteria and pandemic response strategies are the highest ranked in terms of relative importance and thereby pinpoints the need for manufacturing firms to emphasize such during SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, quality, cost, use of personal protective equipment and use of information technologies for customer demand prediction are inferred as highly significant in SSS implementation in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed methodology was validated by a comparative analysis with other MCDM methods. Therefore, this study presents implications on the significance of pandemic response strategies in SSS and thereby enriches literature on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on supply chains.

“…The most widely used environmental decision criteria for supplier selection is the application of environmental management systems. Further environmental decision criteria involve environmental policies, environmental planning, product design for environment or the implementation of ISO 14001 certifications separately or as sub-criteria of environmental management systems (Govindan et al 2015;Suraraksa and Shin 2019).…”

Integrating site-specific environmental impact assessment in supplier selection: exemplary application to steel procurement

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In times of fast-growing stakeholder interest in sustainability, the ecological and social perspective of industrial companies and its products is gaining increasing importance. In particular, the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the automotive industry has come to the forefront of public and governmental attention. The transport sector accounts for 27% of all European GHG emissions and constitutes the largest emitter of CO 2 e (CO 2 equivalents) among all energy demanding technologies. Due to increasingly efficient combustion engines and technology innovation towards e-mobility, the emissions from car manufacturing gain in importance. So far little focus has been laid upon the emissions created throughout the production process in automotive supply chains from a purchasing perspective. The purchasing of raw material from environmentally efficient suppliers can constitute a possibility to significantly reduce CO 2 e emissions in automotive supply chains and thus contribute to the two degrees global warming goal. Supplier selection decisions, which cover approximately 75% of the value adding process of a car, are today mainly cost and quality-driven. In order to integrate CO 2 e as decision criterion for supplier selections, site-specific and comparable data on CO 2 e emissions from the upstream supply chain is necessary, but currently lacking. To estimate CO 2 e emissions of steel suppliers' production sites, a model has been developed to estimate manufacturing processes on a site-specific level without the necessity of confidential primary data. The model is applied on 22 integrated steel mills in EU-15. The results, which can be transferred and used for various products and industries, e.g. the construction industry, demonstrate the partially large disparities of manufacturing efficiency regarding CO 2 e emissions among steel manufacturers due to different levels of process integration and internal process know-how. A range between 1879 and 2990 (kg CO 2 e/t crude steel) has been revealed. Finally, the estimated data on CO 2 e performance of suppliers is applied in a case study of supplier selection of a German automobile manufacturer in order to simulate environmental as well as economic effects.
