“…A green supply chain focuses on minimizing the environmental damage by working closely with supply chain partners that are entirely willing to practice green business practices [4,5]. In this study, we apply green or sustainable supply chains as synonymous, and green supply chain research [4] use them as interchangeable concepts.…”

Top Management, Green Innovations, and the Mediating Effect of Customer Cooperation in Green Supply Chains

This study examines the mediating role of customer cooperation in green supply chain relationships. Employing 181 manufacturer–customer relationships, we test the mediating effect of customer cooperation on the process and managerial innovations. As proposed, customer cooperation positively mediates the relationship between top management commitment and process innovation. However, customer cooperation fails to mediate the relationship between top management commitment and managerial innovation. The findings suggest that the magnitude of customer cooperation increases the adoption of green innovations between supply chain partners to mitigate the negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, customer cooperation enforces a sense of mutuality between supply chain partners to diminish the impact of carbon footprint.

“…While ports are regarded as critical national infrastructures and important for economic development, port authorities are experiencing increased pressure to address the negative environmental and social impacts associated with port operations and development [1,2]. Recently the green port concept emerged in the policy discourse of international maritime organizations as a way to address environmental and social sustainability concerns related to ports (see [3,4]).…”

Selective Adoption: How Port Authorities in Europe and West Africa Engage with the Globalizing ‘Green Port’ Idea

2019

The scholarly debate on ‘green ports’ since it emerged in the policy discourse of international maritime organizations has largely focused on exploring the economic benefits associated with implementing related policies and developing green guides and codes of conduct for port authorities. In contrast, it has received little attention how the green port idea and according measures are taken up and what role is played by contextual factors in places of such uptake. By engaging with the expanding literature on policy mobilities and drawing on empirical information collected through interviews with port officials from four ports in Europe and West Africa, we argue that context-specific factors strongly influence what we call the selective adoption of green port tools and measures for transitioning ports towards sustainability. They include environmental priorities, regulatory requirements, financial resources and the immediate areas of competence of port authorities, which all vary widely across regions and specific ports.

“…Coordination mechanisms between stakeholders will have to be installed to improve the quality of the port cluster and make the governance of the cluster effective at accommodating conflicts between actors (stakeholders and governments) within the cluster (De Langen 2006; De Langen and Haezendonck 2012). In addition to providing port services, stakeholders also require ports to meet social and environmental responsibilities in terms of their green policies, their approach to the market, and in port operations and development (Lam and Van de Voorde 2012).…”

“…With respect to impact assessment research, there is still a gap in the interpretation of what CSR actually contributes as value added to ports and to port regions at large (Dooms, Haezendonck, and Verbeke 2015;Acciaro et al 2014). Researchers seek legitimacy from local communicates and public opinion for port expansion where positive effects offset the negative effects (Dooms and Verbeke 2007), where value is added by environmental performance (Haezendonck et al 2006), where value is created through corporate responsibility (Acciaro et al 2014), where broad socioeconomic impacts are assessed (Dooms, Haezendonck, and Verbeke 2015), and where green port strategies exist (Lam and Van de Voorde 2012). Within the inclusiveness discourse, there is a much stronger consensus on the distinction between outcomes.…”

Governments around the world are adopting inclusive growth agendas. The ambition to align economic growth ambitions with broader-based social benefits is increasingly embraced by corporations to limit the 'negative externalities' and enhance the 'positive externalities' of their operations. Therefore, micro-level corporate strategies and macro-level national ambitions meet at the meso-level of networks and clusters. This requires societal spheres to collaborate and search for alternative governance constellations. In this discourse, port development is only recently receiving attention. In March 2018, ports around the world signed the World Ports Sustainability Program declaration, which aims to contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), whilst a number of national port (master) plans have started to include social along with environmental standards. Extant studies on partnering and stakeholder inclusion in port development are proliferating but are primarily aimed at environmental rather than social (inclusion) issues. This paper adopts an exploratory research design to consider conditions for inclusive port development. A novel taxonomy considers port development as a driver for inclusive growth, where partnerships are the missing link between micro-level business strategies and macro-level effects in the port region and economy at large. This paper shows the first findings and delineates areas for further research.
