“…According to the these requirements, starting from the last decade supply systems are affected by sustainability issues [27][28][29][30][31][32][33], the impact of environmental management strategies [34][35][36][37], and the new opportunities offered to green supply systems by circular economy [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

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.

“…To engage in green product production, only the green product manufacturer (Manufacturer 1) has to invest extra capital to employ green technologies based on the original production process. We assume that the greening improvement in the product does not affect the manufacturer's traditional marginal costs of production [5,8]. It is common knowledge that firms make initial changes in products and process easily, while the subsequent improvement being more difficult [20].…”

“…The green product is featured with greenness degree θ g and traditional product is featured with greenness degree θ t . Similar to Madani's work [5], we set the greenness degree of traditional product as benchmark and assume θ t = 0. Moreover, we assume the greenness degree of green product is θ, thus, θ g = θ. θ in the paper is assumed to reflect the general impact from different green attributes of the green product [14].…”

“…Sustainability can be a valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable resource that becomes a source of competitive advantage [4]. The application of GSCM can improve the environmental and economic performance of organizations, as well as enable enterprises to obtain competitive advantage, which encourages organizations to be continually sustainable [5,6]. GSCM has emerged as an important organizational philosophy to achieve corporate profit and market share objectives [7].…”

Abstract:The paper explores the pricing policies and green strategies in a duopoly green supply chain with vertical and horizontal competition, which includes a green manufacturer, a traditional manufacturer and a common retailer. The purpose of the paper is to address the following research problems: (1) How manufacturers' market power influences the pricing policies and green strategies of supply chain members in a green supply chain? (2) What conditions do first-mover advantage and green competitive advantage be effective simultaneously? We establish the linear demand functions of the duopoly green supply chain and obtain the players' optimal decisions under channel members' different market power. Further, we conduct sensitivity analysis and numerical examples of players' optimal decisions about consumer's environmental awareness and greening cost effector. Based on the theoretical and numerical analysis, we find that green manufacturer would benefit from the increment of consumer's environmental awareness but be depressed by the increase of greening cost, which is contrary to the traditional manufacturer. Additionally, correlations of retailer' optimal decisions and profits between consumer's environmental awareness and greening cost effector are related to the manufacturers' market power structures. Furthermore, we find that the green competitive advantage is more effective than first-mover advantage while first-mover advantage does not always effective in the duopoly green supply chain. Specially, traditional manufacturer always prefers to be the follower competing with the green manufacturer, no matter with the variety of consumer's environmental awareness and greening cost effector, while green manufacturer would like to be the leader only when the consumer's environmental awareness is relatively high or the greening cost effector is relatively low.

“…Fair trade, in the same context, may face the same issue because higher prices, stemming fromcompensating source regions (poverty regions) means extra pay for the consumer. Although research on pricing is not common [23,[56][57][58], it is another important research topic in SSCM. The literature emphasizes the environmental dimension of sustainability [59] and sometimes uses the term green supply chain instead of SSCM [29,35,[60][61][62][63].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to explore sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) trends, and firms' strategic positioning and execution with regard to sustainability in the textile and apparel industry based on news articles and sustainability reports. Further analysis of the rhetoric in Chief executive officer (CEO) letters within sustainability reports is used to determine firms' resoluteness, positive entailments, sharing of values, perception of reality, and sustainability strategy and execution feasibility. Computer-based content analysis is used for this research: Leximancer is applied for text analysis, while dictionary-based text mining program DICTION and SPSS are used for rhetorical analysis. Overall, contents similar to the literature on environmental, social, and economic aspects of the triple bottom line (TBL) are observed, however, topics such as regulation, green incentives, and international standards are not readily observed. Furthmore, ethical issues, sustainable production, quality, and customer roles are emphasized in texts analyzed. The CEO letter analysis indicates that listed firms show relatively low realism and high commonality, while North American firms exhibit relatively high commonality, and Europe firms show relatively high realism. The results will serve as a baseline for providing academia guidelines in SSCM research, and provide an opportunity for businesses to complement their sustainability strategies and executions.
