“…Over the coming decades, uncertainty in the supply chains of manufacturing firms is going to be more important for the companies that are called to compete in a new globalized economy [10], thus the traditional supply chain management (SCM) way of paying heed to cost and competitive relationships has been proven inefficient [11]. With greater emphasis on sustainable development and firms gain sustainable competitive advantage, the long-term choice of these firms is to take an active role in environmental responsibility, and to take active measures to invest in the green movement to maintain competitiveness whilst under pressure from government regulations.…”

Abstract:In the context of the Chinese government's strategy for sustainable development, the study of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) for enterprises has important practical significance. Drawing data from 172 Chinese firms, the model studied the moderating role of firm size on the SSCM practices and the sustainable performance of the firms (economic, environmental, and social), using hierarchical regression analysis on SPSS 22.0. The results suggest that SSCM practices and firm size are positively related to the firm's environmental and social performance. Firm size moderates the effect of SSCM practices on economic performance. Additionally, SSCM internal practices have a significant positive impact on the economic performance of large enterprises, but not so much on the economic performance of the Small and medium enterprises(SMEs). This paper proposes a comprehensive SSCM practice performance model that identifies firm size as a moderating role. Through research on the moderating effect of firm size, the implementation and recommendation of SSCM for different firm size are given.

“…According to Nagel (2000), environmental key concepts, such as eco-labels, the avoidance of environmentally hazardous substances, the recyclability of supply materials and the environmental responsibility of suppliers, together provide the contents of EP. Certification and collaboration are two key elements in this dimension (Pagell and Wu, 2009).…”

Abstract: Drawing from the research of green supply chain management and corporate social responsibility, this paper proposes a hierarchical structure of sustainable supply chain management and develops a multiitem measurement scale to reflect the specific management practices of sustainable supply chain management. In this research, sustainable supply chain management is operationalised as a third-order factor reflected by three second-order factors, namely external green supply chain management, internal green supply chain management and corporate social responsibility. Utilising a rigorous, multi-step scale development method and data from 293 Chinese manufacturers, this paper validates a 31-item measurement scale and approve the proposed third-order structure. The results confirm the multidimensionality of sustainable supply chain management, which suggests that it is necessary for the future researches to consider both environmental and social aspects. The valid measurement scales provide managers with a "to do list" to make the specific business decisions to achieve sustainable development in the supply chain.A third-order model of sustainable supply chain management is proposed.The measurement scales of sustainable supply chain management are developed.

We hope that we have addressed all the issues you raised.Reviewer 2:1. Is this true? Despite the wide discussion of sustainable supply chain management with the triple bottom line, few empirical studies consolidate its social and environmental aspects.This statement is the finding from several reviewer paper in the field of sustainable supply chain management (such as Seuring and Muller, 2008;Kleindorfer et al., 2005). However, we thank for the . Indeed, it is not appropriate to include the quotation in the abstract. So we remove the sentence in the abstract of revised version. 5.

“…The supply chain of manufacturing firms that are called upon to compete in a modern globalized economy will become more imprecise over the coming decades [8]; therefore the conventional way of managing the supply chain management (SCM) has proved to be ineffective in terms of cost and competitive relationships [9]. Management theories, such as neoclassical theory, suggest that an organization's main objective is to make profit.…”

Process Innovation as a Moderator Linking Sustainable Supply Chain Management with Sustainable Performance in the Manufacturing Sector of Pakistan

Purpose: The aim of this research paper is to significantly contribute to empirical research on the impact of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on sustainable performances of firms, with the moderating effect of process innovation (PI), in the manufacturing sector in Pakistan. This paper also theorizes comprehensive SSCM practices and sustainable performance models of firms and evaluates them empirically. Two aspects of SSCM experiences have been integrated into the model: internal management and external management practices of a firm's sustainability impact assessment. Research methodology: Using the data from 297 manufacturing firms in Pakistan, this research paper analyzes the influence of sustainable supply chain management practices on sustainable performances of firms with the moderation of process innovation in the said relationship. In this study, we used partial least-squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis. Results: The findings demonstrate that both internal management and external management SSCM practices have a positive and significant impact on a firm's sustainable performance, thus supporting hypotheses (H1-H4). Moreover, process innovation as a moderator has a statistically significant relationship between hypotheses H5 and H5c. Originality: For Pakistani firms, comprehensive performance models of SSCM practices are proposed and empirically evaluated. The results of this study help to support the hypotheses that internal and external SSCM practices are necessary for the service sector. Process innovation plays an important role if managed and implemented properly. A number of internal and external SSCM approaches and implications are recommended, along with firm size as a moderator.Sustainability 2020, 12, 2303 19 of 24 may investigate dynamic changes at various SSCM stages by using time series data or panel data. Reducing the subjective factors and biases of the participants and conducting a broader sample survey will be a future piece of work. This study used process innovation as a moderator. Future studies may incorporate other moderating variables, such as firm size, to test the relationship between SSCM practices and a firm's sustainable performance in the service sector of developing economies.
