“…In current global trends, an organization's SC should include environmental aspects in the purchasing process and should strive to implement environmental (green) requirements with suppliers. Many researchers have discussed the improvement of green performance in SC Gunasekaran et al 2014;Mudgal et al 2009;Alzaman 2014;Govindan et al 2014;Muduli et al 2013). Humphreys et al (2003a) developed an environmental framework based on environmental costs due to pollutant effects as quantitative criteria and environmental partners, green image, environmental design, green management system as qualitative green criteria in their model.…”

The low-carbon supply chain is one of the predominant topics towards a green economy and it establishes the opportunity to reduce carbon emissions across the product value chain. This paper focuses on recycling and optimized sourcing in the paper industry as a case company. The main objective is to engage the case company with their supplier networks to diminish the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and cost in their production process. It proposes a model to support the selection of the best green supplier and an allocation of order among the potential suppliers. The proposed model contains a two-phase hybrid approach. The first phase presents the rating and selection of potential suppliers by considering economics (cost), operational factors (quality and delivery), and environmental criteria (recycle capability and GHG emission control) using Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) methodology. The second phase presents the order allocation process using multi-objective linear programming in order to minimize cost, material rejection, late delivery, recycle waste and CO 2 emissions in the production process. A case study from a paper manufacturing industry is presented to elucidate the effectiveness of the proposed model. The results demonstrate a 26.2 % reduction of carbon emission by using recycle products in the production process. The firm benefits by forming a systematic methodology for green supplier evaluation and order allocation. Finally, a conclusion and a suggested direction of future research are introduced.

“…The concept of sustainability was defined in 1987 in the Bruntland report. It was then adopted by the United Nations' World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED): ''Sustainability means being able to satisfy current needs without compromising the possibility for future generations to satisfy their own needs'' [10], [11].…”

Today, the sustainability supply chain is one of the hottest discussions in the world among practitioners, academicians, and governments. Therefore, Indonesia is a developing country that also pays more attention to involvement. Indonesia has the most significant coconut production in the world, followed by India and the Philippines. However, based on previous research, the sustainability of the coconut in Indonesia is under threat to supply chain operation. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the crucial indicators of sustainable practices to measure the performance of a sustainable supply chain system. This study aims to assess an instrument's content validity and inter-rater reliability to determine a set of crucial key performance indicators (KPIs) for the sustainable supply chain coconut industry. Initially, this study reviewed the existing sustainable supply chain indicators and developed a list of indicators suitable for the coconut supply chain. Then, the indicators were assessed and validated by a group of five experts. The validity test was analyzed using Aiken's V indexes and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The validity test showed that the percentage of Aiken V, 60.78% (31 indicators) were valid, and 39.22% (22 hands) were invalid. In the inter-correlation coefficients test using a 95% confidence level, the ICC value obtained for the economic dimension is .743, categorized as moderate reliability; the environmental dimension is .684 (moderate); and the social dimension is .845, categorized as good reliability, and the average measure of the ICC value was .76 (good reliability). In conclusion, Aiken’s V index was used to determine the number of indicators. Only 31 could be further used as an instrument to determine the critical indicators for coconut supply chain sustainability in Riau Province-Indonesia.

“…The idea of sustainable freight transport is motivated by the shortage of resources, increasing levels of pollution, global warming, and difficulty of waste disposal [25,26], and the desire to increase competitiveness and economic development [27][28][29][30]. However, there is resistance to the implementation of better environmental habits, because of the increase in costs in the short term.…”

Methodological Proposal for Recognition Systems in Sustainable Freight Transport

Establishing a recognition system for sustainable freight transport is a process of change that requires the commitment of those involved and application of good practices. The pressures from consumers and competitors do not allow greater engagement with economic, social, and environmental aspects, and the maintenance stages require a long-term effort to obtain credibility, because the participation of external members of society in the evaluation contributes to reduce the influences and uncertainties of the recognition criterion. In light of the difficulties of establishing a green supply chain, we propose a method with multiple approaches with an emphasis on fuzzy logic. The purpose is to reduce the indecision of judgment, to debug the qualitative variables and to reduce interference from competitors. The procedure was applied to six companies that have carbon reduction programs, but we found that firms with a core business in transport had greater success in the transition to low carbon operations than contractors or shippers. The certification levels allowed visual contact between consumers and the company, making it possible to monitor sustainability actions in freight transportation operations and the competitiveness to achieve higher labeling levels.
