“…Rao and Holt [90] conduct a survey to identify the relationship among green supply chain management, economic performances, and competitiveness in a sample of companies set in South-East Asia. Shang et al [124] conduct a survey involving Taiwanese companies to define the main capabilities of a green supply chain and analyze the relationship between green supply chain management initiatives and economic performance. The paper shows that companies involved in the adoption of green supply chain initiatives get better results in terms of trade, brand, and savings.…”

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.

“…Researchers have made efforts to identify green capabilities from which enterprise leaders consider the most important issues based on their own visions, goals, and strategies for GSCM [14,26,32,33]. Shang et al [32] examined GSCM capabilities among electronics-related manufacturing firms in Taiwan and grouped a set of 37 green capabilities into six principal categories: (a) green manufacturing and packaging; (b) ecodesign; (c) environmental participation; (d) environmentally friendly purchasing; (e) green marketing; and (f) green stocks. These attributes, representing most aspects of eco-friendliness, can be used to manage all GSCM drivers in an enterprise.…”

Abstract:Environmental friendliness has been regarded as a fundamental characteristic of sustainability and competitiveness, yet such eco-friendliness is often not performed well. Based on the relationship matrix in the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method and fuzzy logic, this paper presents an original integrated approach that, by linking competitive bases, green capabilities, and providers, aims at identifying the most appropriate providers to be implemented by companies starting from competitive characteristics. As an illustration, an international electronics-related manufacturing firm's eco-friendliness developing project is cited which provides evidence of a robust method that can improve the eco-friendliness of an enterprise and enhance competitive advantage. The approach allows for avoiding the risk of misalignments between green providers and competition requirements for practitioners that seek to implement green supply chain management systems.

“…According to Shang et al [28], GSCM capability includes finance/logistics/information flow, integration, relationship and, in particular, environmental management, as crucial sources of competitive advantage. Firms can improve environmental management through efforts, such as investment in environmental technology and pollution prevention, instead of pollution control, but firms should consider the manufacturing operations of their partner firms along the supply chain [29].…”

Environmental Capabilities of Suppliers for Green Supply Chain Management in Construction Projects: A Case Study in Korea

et al. 2016

Green supply chain management (GSCM) enhances a firm's competitiveness for sustainable growth. GSCM is especially important in the construction industry, a project-based business that often results in heavy environmental pollution. For the successful implementation of GSCM in the construction industry to occur, contractors should make the best use of suppliers' environmental capabilities based on shared understanding of the capabilities. This paper examines the shared understanding of suppliers' environmental management capabilities between the contractor and suppliers by assessing the consistency between the contractor's and suppliers' evaluations of the capabilities. This explorative case study investigates a supply chain comprised of a major construction firm and 106 suppliers in Korea. The results of the case analysis show that the suppliers' self-evaluation scores of environmental capability are higher than the contractor's evaluation scores. Furthermore, from both evaluators, suppliers received the lowest scores in the evaluation item rating the relationship with second-tier suppliers and the highest in the evaluation item rating the relationship with the contractor. The consistency between the suppliers' and contractor's evaluation is related to several characteristics of suppliers, such as industry type, firm size and partnership duration with the contractor. This study contributes to the literature of GSCM and strategic alignment amongst supply chain partners for the construction industry.
