“…Green supply chain readiness, competitive advantage, and social responsibility are significant drivers in supplier participation. But governmental involvement and customer requirements are not significant (Caniëls et al [18]). Lee and Nam [19] proposed four countermeasures to enhance strategic plans for green shipping in South Korea; the establishment of a shipping-shipbuilding collaborative network, information sharing and joint cost reduction for shipping and shipbuilding industry, investment in R&D in eco-friendly vessels, support for LNG fueled ship.…”

“…As seen in the previous sections, there are not many studies related with sustainability of the shipyards. Caniëls et al [18] examined the relations of green supply chain readiness, customer requirements, governmental involvement, social responsibility and competitive advantage to the willingness to participate in green supply chain management initiatives in the suppliers of two big Dutch shipyards. In a different study, Wang et al [32] examined which the sustainable development goals collaborate with the maritime industry based publicly published the corporate social responsibility and sustainable development reports.…”

Sustainability is an important issue in the 21st century. Although there are a high number of publications, some areas are still untouched, like sustainability concepts in shipyards. This paper aims to explore the literature of the sustainability concept in the shipbuilding industry and to propose a further research outline. The impact of green supply chain practices (GSCM) on three sustainability performance-economic, environmental and social performance-will be also examined. A systematic literature review is applied between 1980 and 2020 using Scopus and Web of Science databases. After eliminating duplicates, unrelated articles, a total of 27 articles were identified. The analysis shows that there is not much research on the shipyard's sustainability and the green supply chain practices impact on the economic, environmental and social performance. One article examined the relations of green supply chain readiness, customer requirements, governmental involvement, social responsibility and competitive advantage to the willingness to participate in green supply chain management initiatives in the suppliers of two big shipyards. The other one examined which of the sustainable development goals collaborate with the maritime industry based on publicly published corporate social responsibility and sustainable development reports. Both studies do not focus on green supply chain practices as a performance evaluation of the three sustainable dimensions in a shipyard. In addition, there are dissertations in Turkey, which examined green supply chain practices and their impacts on the environmental, social and economic performance in the manufacturing, packaging companies, finding significance positive relations. As a result, we found that few studies examined the sustainability of shipyards, this study will fill the literature gap being one of the first study on this subject and contributing to the emerging shipyards sustainability literature.

“…There are many past studies conducted on diverse facets of green adoption and related areas. Among them, ample studies report on green supply chain management (Caniëls, Cleophas & Semeijn, 2016;Dhillon, n.d.;Dhillon, Bentley & Bukoye, 2016;Hsu, 2013;Kumar, Kumar & Ram, 2015;Mitra & Datta, 2014;Tachizawa, Gimenez, & Sierra, 2015;Zhu, Sarkis and Lai, 2013) and green manufacturing (Allwood, 2009;Arun & Patrick, 2017;Dornfeld, 2012;Mafini. & Loury-Okoumba, 2018;Sainidis & Robson, 2017).…”

Adoption of green practices in manufacturing SMEs: some lessons from Kochi, Kerala, India

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adopting green practices in the manufacturing sector has become a requirement for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Manufacturing Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in the industrial sector in Sri Lanka. However their contribution towards reaching a green economy is not well documented. Efforts in adopting green practices, failures or success stories, and the problems and issues associated with green manufacturing in SMEs are yet to be examined in depth in the Sri Lankan context. As a means of acquiring a priori knowledge on the reality, this study aims to explore the green practices, challenges and strategies, and the required institutional support for implementing and sustaining such practices in manufacturing SME sin a geographical location similar to Sri Lanka i.e., Kochi, India. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify important lessons from experiences undergone by manufacturing SMEs in the adoption of green practices in their businesses. This is an exploratory study conducted by collecting qualitative data from interviewing the stakeholders of selected manufacturing SMEs visited for this purpose. The study takes a deductive approach, deriving its analytical framework from the review of literature. A set of green practices, challenges to be anticipated, and the institutional and policy support required in implementing and sustaining green practices in

“…The implementation of ''green policies" for managing these wastes is hence a topic assuming a great importance (Caniëls et al, 2016;Guo et al, 2012;Lu et al, 2009). To this end, the cruise sector has launched initiatives to improve pollution prevention by adopting appropriate guidelines and procedures, and searching for new technologies that can meet existing requirements.…”
