“…The findings highlight the importance of quality control also for energy-efficient and environmental sustainability initiative in the context of food supply chain. Jabbour [61] develops a multiple case study among several Brazilian companies. The findings show that these companies are sensitive to environmental sustainability problem and they are implementing eco-sustainability initiatives to reduce CO 2 emission.…”

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.

“…The reviewed literature indicates that scholars have used different terminologies to comprehend GSCM over the period of time, for instance, cleaner SCM , Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) (Linton et al, 2007;Seuring and Müller, 2008;Gold et al, 2010;Ahi and Searcy, 2013;Beske et al, 2014;Touboulic and Walker, 2015), environmental SC (Jabbour et al, 2015), green practices of SC (Azevedo et al, 2011), and socially responsible SC (Hoejmose et al, 2013). Many scholars have tried to define GSCM from various perspectives.…”

“…Investment recovery can be seen as the utilisation of idle resources for better purposes (Jabbour et al, 2015), closed loop of reuse and recycle of by-products. In this way an organisation can reuse or remanufacture products economically while reducing its negative impact on environment.…”

This paper investigates the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on the performance of UK food retail small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative approach using a nonprobability sampling of 84 participants was employed. Based on the literature review, five hypotheses were developed and tested using the partial least square-structural equation modelling (SEM-Smart PLS 2.03) approach. The reviewed literature revealed that key internal drivers (ID) and external pressures (EP) stimulate organizations to initiate GSCM Practices in UK food retail SMEs. Though empirical findings strongly supported the statement that ID influence GSCM practices but they did not show a significant relationship between EP and GSCM practices. Literature also suggests that practicing GSCM can help improve the efficiency, brand image (BI) and profitability, and thus improve the overall firm performance which is also empirically proved. This study helps enrich existing theories on SCM and organizational performance. As to practical impact, this study should facilitate SMEs in GSCM practices and thus help green the economy. While the findings of this study have limited generalizability as the data were collected from UK SMEs only and the sample size was comparatively small, this research establishes a foundation for further study in this domain.

Sustainability studies in operations management have reported the positive effects of lean, green and social management systems on various dimensions of a firm's sustainability performance. However, despite its importance and relevance, the time dimension of sustainability has not been systematically considered. This paper recategorizes the well‐identified sustainability initiatives based on a time dimension and empirically validates the categorization. Structural equation modeling analyses were performed using data collected from 284 Chinese automotive firms. The results suggest that various lean and reactive green practices can be categorized as “short‐term sustainability initiatives” because the effects of implementing these practices can be seen in a short time. Specifically, the benefits of implementing short‐term sustainability initiatives can be further strengthened and reinforced in the long run by implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. In addition, our findings demonstrate that to fully realize the potential associated with CSR practices, firms need to be orientated to the long term and adopt a wait and watch approach.
