Greening production: a South‐East Asian experience

Abstract

This paper studies the relevance of the "greening of production" in the South-East Asian context. It investigates the various initiatives taken by the companies of this region and thereby identifies the factors that are critical in the process of greening production in this region. The significance of the factors are ascertained and validated through an empirical research that has been conducted across five countries of the region employing the structural equation-modeling framework.

Green project partnership in the supply chain: the case of the package printing industry

“…All industrial processes involve the consumption and manipulation of energy and materials, and wastes and emissions [8]. These processes involved in manufacturing boilers generate large amounts of gaseous emissions and waste.…”

Providing Efficient Decision Support for Green Operations Management: An Integrated Perspective

“…For development to be sustainable, it is essential to integrate environmental, social and economic considerations into the action of greening operations (i.e. the transformation processes which produce usable goods and services) (Kelly, 1998;Gauthier, 2005;Lee & Klassen, 2008), as operations have the greatest environmental and social impacts among all business functions of a manufacturer (Rao, 2004;Nunes & Bennett, 2010). In the context of sustainable development, operations have to be understood from a network's perspective, that is, operations include not only manufacturing, but also design and supply chain management activities across products, processes and systems (Liu and Young, 2004;Geldermann et al, 2007).…”
