“…Some studies have found significant positive effect (Zhu, et al, 2007) while others found no or negative effect t Esfahbodi, et al, 2016). Similarly, improvement in economic performance due to improved environmental performance has also been reported by many authors Vanalle, et al, 2017;Gopal and Thakkar, 2016;Esfahbodi, et al, 2016).…”

“…There is no universal agreement on the effect of GSCM and economic performance (Rao and Holt, 2005). Since there exist a huge divide between the positive and negative or no effects at all , Vanalle, et al, 2017. This situation calls for more focus on finding the relationship between GSCM practices and economic performance of the firm.…”

“…Different stakeholders including but not limited to government agencies, international regulatory bodies, main suppliers, customers, NGO's and competing organizations are main sources of motivation to bring change in traditional manufacturing processes (Zhu, Sarkis and Lai, 2013). To face this challenge now companies are thinking strategically to incorporate green supply chain management (GSCM) practices with an intention to minimize harms to the environment and increase profitability by achieving a competitive advantage (Vanalle, et al, 2017;Gopal and Thakkar, 2016). All these pressures are divided into three categories by institutional theory and the pressures related to main suppliers, customers and from international regulatory bodies for export oriented companies are called normative pressures and for businesses operating in developing countries these are the most important type of pressures to pursue GSCM practices (Amer, et al,2016;Zhu and Geng, 2013).…”

Businesses around the globe are facing tremendous pressures to improve their manufacturing practices to minimize their harmful effects on the environment. These pressures are being exerted from different stakeholders but in developing countries mostly there are powerful suppliers and customers, which can change the choices of decision makers in the local industry. According to institutional theory these pressures combined are called normative pressures. By using path modeling this study attempted to find out the role of normative pressures to adopt green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and the impact of those adopted practices on environmental and economic performance of those companies through partial least square (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM). Data was collected from 134 manufacturing companies in Pakistan through a questionnaire. Path analysis results confirmed that normative pressures have positive and significant impact on adopting the GSCM practices and subsequently these practices improve the environmental performance of the companies in Pakistan. Results also confirmed many existing studies that GSCM practices directly do not improve economic performance but environmental performance does have a significant positive effect on the economic performance Key words:Normative pressures; Green supply chain management practices; Environmental performance; Economic performance; Pakistan Resumo: Empresas em todo o mundo estão enfrentando enormes pressões para melhorar suas práticas de fabricação para minimizar seus efeitos nocivos sobre o meio ambiente. Essas pressões estão sendo exercidas por diferentes partes interessadas, mas nos países em desenvolvimento existem principalmente fornecedores e clientes poderosos, que podem mudar as escolhas dos tomadores de decisão na indústria local. Segundo a teoria institucional, essas pressões combinadas são chamadas de pressões normativas. Com a modelagem de caminhos, este estudo buscou descobrir o papel das pressões normativas na adoção de práticas de gestão da cadeia de suprimentos verdes (GSCM) e o impacto dessas práticas adotadas no desempenho ambiental e econômico dessas empresas através da modelagem de equações estruturais(SEM) utilizando minimos quadradas (PLS). Os dados foram coletados de 134 empresas de manufatura no Paquistão por meio de um questionário. Os resultados do Path Analysis confirmaram que as pressões normativas têm impacto positivo e significativo na adoção das práticas de GSCM e, posteriormente, essas práticas melhoram o desempenho ambiental das empresas no Paquistão. Os resultados também confirmaram muitos estudos existentes de que as práticas de GSCM não melhoram diretamente o desempenho econômico, mas sim o desempenho ambiental que tem um efeito positivo significativo sobre o desempenho econômico.

Environmental Sustainability and Energy-Efficient Supply Chain Management: A Review of Research Trends and Proposed Guidelines

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper conducts a structured review on the topic of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in the supply chain management context to define research trends on the topic and identify research gaps. The review is carried out using the largest databases of peer-reviewed literature (Scopus and Web of Science). A sample of 122 papers focusing on the topic of energy-efficient and sustainable supply chain management was selected and analyzed through descriptive and content analysis. The review highlights that despite there is a growing research trend on the topic, different research gaps remain to be covered. These gaps concern the factors influencing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives, the classification of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives, the impact of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability on supply chain performance, the customer perspective in sustainable and energy-efficient supply chain, and the different technologies supporting the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability initiatives. The research gaps and the research questions identified offer the opportunity to identify areas of investigation to design future research directions and propose guidelines in the field of supply chain management.

“…Environmental pollution, waste of resources, and ecological imbalance have become hot issues of worldwide attention [1][2][3]. With economic development and consumer awareness of environmental protection improving, the idea of using traditional supply chains for manufacturing has not been able to meet the needs of sustainable social development.…”

Research on Pricing and Coordination Strategy of a Sustainable Green Supply Chain with a Capital-Constrained Retailer

With the gradual deepening of environmental problems and the increase in consumer awareness of environmental protection, many enterprises have already begun to pay attention to green supply chain management. However, the price of green products is higher than that of nongreen products, which is an enormous challenge for many small-or medium-sized enterprises. To study the pricing and coordination of green supply chains under capital constraints, a model consisting of a manufacturer and a capital-constrained retailer is established; the manufacturer invests in green products and provides a deferred payment contract. Setting the situation without capital constraints as a benchmark, this study explores the impact of the retailer's capital constraints on the manufacturer's product greenness design; an interesting result shows that deferred payment can help encourage the retailer to order more products and improve the profit of the manufacturer and the efficiency of the entire supply chain as well as the product's greenness level simultaneously. However, the profit of the retailer will be hurt by the deferred payment contract. Therefore, to guarantee the profit of the entire channel and to make the two agents obtain a win-win outcome, a new two-way revenue-sharing contract is designed to coordinate the green supply chain.
