“…The findings show that these companies are sensitive to environmental sustainability problem and they are implementing eco-sustainability initiatives to reduce CO 2 emission. Jabbour et al [62] conduct a survey to define green supply chain initiatives impacting on internal and external performance. The results connect the following concepts: quality management, eco-sustainability initiatives management, and adoption of GSCM external initiatives influencing environmental performance.…”

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.

“…Therefore, attempts to improve sustainability through product and process redesign, and strategic environmental plans have become the focus of industrial activities in firms and at the government-level (Jabbour et al 2008;Jackson, Renwick, Jabbour and Muller-Camen 2011;Jabbour et al 2014). However, extant research highlights that firms' intentions to adopt environmental practices and achieve sustainability is often influenced by certain drivers and barriers.…”

Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and understanding key factors that enhance individuals' green competencies is lacking. This study contributes to green human resource literature by integrating environmental consumer behavior literature with traditional skills and competencies literature to help firms to select the right individuals to achieve their environmental goals. Using Robert's competencies framework and structural equation modeling (SEM), this paper empirically examines the influence of individual green competencies on organizations' green practices and performance objectives. Our model is tested using a sample of 1,230 employees working in key industries in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo. The results indicate that acquired green competencies are more positively associated with individuals' green competencies and green behavior. The study empirically demonstrates that verifying acquired green competence attributes such as environmental knowledge, green purchase attitude and intention during employee selection would certainly be helpful for firms to identify individual green performance potential.

“…As the positive impact of agility has gained increased recognition, researchers have offered different theoretical conceptualisations. The sustainable supply chain can achieve a low-carbon economy by considering social dimension for future research (Jabbour et al, 2015). In essence, the GSCA of a firm can be defined as the ability of the firm to quickly adjust green tactics and operations within its supply chain to respond or adapt to changes, opportunities or threats in its EP and SP.…”

In today's sustainable economic world, the rational thought should be the costs of life cycle, resources or supply chain process. Supply chains need to possess agility to achieve environmental performance (EP) and social performance (SP). However, at present, there is very little knowledge and awareness of how these two concepts interact within a supply chain. This paper therefore, aims to develop a conceptual framework to depict how green supply chain agility (GSCA) strengthens the EP and SP within the supply chain. In this study, a self-administered questionnaire was designed based on important criteria identified in the literature, and then administered to 230 organisations representing various industries which are part of EMS ISO 14001 certified manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The results showed that GSCA improves the performance of a firm environmentally and socially, and the control variables have no significant influence on the dependent variables.
