Sustainability Performance

Environmental issues have been critical concern among the current businesses as various business activities might pose significant threats to the environment. Incorporating environmental aspects in business operations is perceived to be able to create value and to achieve sustainable business performance. The manufacturing sector is the key contributor to the country’s high pollution index. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices have become more prevalent in this sector in managing the environmental issues for the effectiveness of their production requirement. Nevertheless, the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) mainly are less likely to embark on environmental practices as compared to large organisations. The establishment of certified environmental management systems (EMS) is considered as a strategic management approach that defines how organisations will address their impact on the natural environment guided by ISO 14001 as a framework. This study provides empirical evidence examining the extent of GSCM practices among the SMEs through the possession of ISO 14001 and examines the impact on sustainability performance. Data were analysed using regression analyses. Results indicate that GSCM practices have a significant positive relation with sustainability performance. Eco-design practices and environmental cooperation have a positive relationship with sustainability performance. There is no relationship between green purchasing and reverse logistics practices with sustainability performance. These results imply that Malaysian SMEs adopt GSCM practices mostly through eco-design and robust cooperation among departments in dealing with environmental issues. Green practices and reverse logistics practices are still new for SMEs and do not contribute to achieving better performance.

Este estudo busca identificar qual o impacto das práticas da Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) no comportamento dos custos de empresas do setor energético listadas na BM&FBOVESPA, ao adotar como proxy de mensuração a certificação ISO 14001, a listagem do Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE) e a Lei nº 9.991/2000. Para tanto, analisam-se, por meio de modelos de regressão para dados em painel, as informações financeiras não consolidadas de 1995 a 2014, coletadas na Economática® e atualizadas pelo índice IPCA/IBGE. Os resultados divergem das ideias dos autores trazidos em discussão, à medida que as variáveis explicativas não se apresentam estatisticamente significantes, ao considerar os níveis usuais de intervalo de confiança. Assim, não é possível inferir que houve impacto na eficiência produtiva das empresas, com aumento ou diminuição da proporção do custo em relação às receitas de venda. Dessa forma, e ao considerar que esse efeito pode ser compensado por outros fatores, busca-se analisar isoladamente os custos e as receitas. Os resultados demonstram que todas as variáveis explicativas não são estatisticamente significativas para as análises de receitas, mas, para as análises de custos, tem-se que, quanto maior o nível de adesão às práticas de GSCM, maiores são os custos dos produtos vendidos.

Sustainable Performance

This paper investigates the effects of green supply chain management practices on sustainable performance. This study sent a survey to 616 Malaysian ISO 14001 certified manufacturing companies. With a total of 152 usable questionnaires, the response rate was 24.68%. The findings showed that green purchasing and eco-design were found to improve all the components of sustainable performance. While reverse logistics was found to have a positive impact on social performance only. These relationships indicate that Green Supply Chain Management Practices can be of value to organizations specifically, as well to the external environment at large.

Green Practices

Purpose: In order to implement Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM to support the effort in reducing the environmental impact of the supply chain processes, a framework needs to be developed. This study aimed to propose a conceptual and holistic GSCM framework to represents a roadmap towards GSCM implementation by integrating all green supply chain practices by various stakeholders of construction sector in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approach: Green practices were obtained from an extensive literature review. Questionnaire survey of GSCM stakeholders in the construction sector was conducted to obtain the preference of green supply chain variables as the proxy for variable weighting and ranking. Pairwise Comparison (PWC) and Technique for Others Preference by Similarity to Ideal (TOPSIS) were adopted to analyze the weight and to rank the green practices respectively. The finding of PWC and TOPSIS were used to develop the framework.Findings: The implementation of the GSCM in the construction sector in Indonesia is mainly focused on reducing the use of hazardous materials, the management of waste at the project site, selling products and components that are no longer used, using video conferencing both inter- and intra-organization meetings, and support from the management level in the form EMS and ISO 14001 certification.Research limitations/implications: This study did not include other GSCM performances as criteria, such as operational and logistical performance.Practical implications: An efficient evaluation technique developed by the framework can be used in decision making policies by policy makers and stakeholders of the organization which can identify and prioritize the green practices for adoption of GSCM in the construction sectorOriginality/value: The originality of this research is that GSCM framework was developed with most relevant green practices based on ranking and weighting criteria as well as the main stakeholders involved.
