“…Extensions of the basic data envelopment analysis approaches have been completed for supply chain evaluation, along and within supply chains, but inclusion and evaluation of environmental characteristics has yet to be completed. Other, more recent works have posited tools for performance measurement using ratios for evaluating supplier environmental performance (Nagel, 2004) or a business value perspective of strategic sourcing and environmental issues (Harris, 2004). Yet, even these other tools have focused only on one element and one level of supplier evaluation.…”

Purpose -To introduce and provide an overview of the various issues related to environmental (green) supply chain management performance measurement. Design/methodology/approach -The work relies on experiences, case studies and other literature related to performance measurement in environmental supply chains. It seeks to integrate works in supply chain management, environmental management, and performance management into one framework. A systems framework forms the discussion outline with a focus on controls/pressures, inputs, tools, and outputs as major categories for evaluation and review. Findings -Provides an integrative framework for study, design and evaluation of green supply chain management performance tools. The findings also identify a number of issues that need to still be addressed. Research limitations/implications -We have only one design of the issues in which numerous categorizations could be provided. There is limited research in this area and new and current models/developments can provide additional insight. Implications of the work is that these gaps exist and that significantly more work needs to be completed in this field. Practical implications -A very useful source of information for practitioners that seek to implement these systems within and between organizations. Also, the paper provides numerous areas which researchers could complete additional research and develop research agendas. Originality/value -This paper provides some of the very first insights into development of a green supply chain management performance measurement system. Typically performance measurement systems are internally and business focused, we expand on these issues by considering inter-organizational and environmental issues within a business context.

“…But they do not take into account a company's comprehensive responsibility for its ecological impacts along preliminary and downstream processes outside the individual enterprise. It is only more recent studies that have tried to take the ecological performance along supply chains into account too [13].…”

“…Preuss [17] mentioned that Xerox developed an environmental common denominator, which conflates the environmental impact of a product into a single measure. Nagel [15] argued that "Environmental supply chain management requires appropriate tools and metrics; thus, metrics that help the industry to measure the greening of their processes, and compare environmental achievements with other industries are needed." Moreover, Nagel [15] developed a metric system based on production rates to evaluate an Eco-supplier, forming the basis for a supply chain environmental performance tool.…”

Moreover, Nagel [15] developed a metric system based on production rates to evaluate an Eco-supplier, forming the basis for a supply chain environmental performance tool. Nagel [15] stated that an environmental performance tool for suppliers' assessment needs two elements: a set of specified questions related to the use of materials, water, energy, air emissions, and waste, and a model, which generates a quantitative environmental performance value useful to managers.…”

In this case, the performance of a supplier when evaluated with the developed tool is considered to be good, sufficient, insufficient, etc., in terms of ranges between 0 and 1.…”

Green manufacturing is becoming an important strategy that manufacturing companies are implementing in their facilities to differentiate themselves from competitors. Several research efforts have been done aiming to understand the improvements achieved with green manufacturing. However, additional research needs to be conducted on how companies differ from each other, and how they can compare themselves to leading companies in environmental terms. The objective of this research was to design, verify, and validate a model able to deliver a positioning index (environmental improvement index, EII GM ) that measures the environmental image of a company as a function of their environmental improvements, and as compared to achievements in the same areas by leading companies implementing green manufacturing. The model was developed using a fuzzy logic approach. Main findings indicate that the highest levels in the EII GM are achieved when simultaneously improving the four variables considered (water, waste, energy, and CO 2 emissions), with energy savings being the most important variable for companies improving only one variable. The environmental improvement index developed shows its importance as a planning and decision-making tool for manufacturing companies pursuing a higher environmental image, and a differentiation strategy from competitors based on environmental improvements.
