Implications of Green Logistics Management on Sustainable Business and Supply Chain Performance: Evidence from a Survey in the Greek Agri-Food Sector

Abstract

Green agri-food supply chains are increasingly attracting research interest, owing to their potential capacity for resilience against recent crises (e.g., financial, COVID-19) as well as end-consumers’ concerns on sustainability issues. In this context, this paper aims to explore the relationship between green supply chain management practices and three different performance aspects, namely, supply chain, green (environmental) and business performance, and controlling for environmental dynamism. Field research was conducted through a structured questionnaire contacted to 134 executives of firms in the agri-food sector in Greece. The results reveal that information sharing, logistics networking and transportation are the most powerful factors that impact sustainable, business and supply chain performance. In addition, green packaging is related to financial and social performance aspects. Interestingly, green warehousing and logistics emissions failed to establish any relationship with performance outcomes. The conclusions and recommendations drawn in the present study are expected to provide meaningful guidance for the supply chain decision-making process, as logistics managers are becoming increasingly aware of exploiting all available resources, knowhow and competitive advantages for attaining sustainable performance.

The Impact of Organic Traffic of Crowdsourcing Platforms on Airlines’ Website Traffic and User Engagement

“…A statistical analysis was carried out in order to illustrate the correlations between the examined metrics. The methodological process used within this study can be further used in the green logistics sector in order to verify the good standing of existing research results obtained through the use of a different methodological process, in order to examine the reliability and efficiency of existing methodological processes in logistics research [69,70]. Indeed, due to the innovative nature of the adopted methodological framework, further research should be conducted relying on such an approach in order to verify the credibility of this type of methodological process.…”

Interval valued intuitionistic fuzzy analytic hierarchy process-based green supply chain resilience evaluation methodology in post COVID-19 era

“…Mohammed ( 2020 ) explore the requirements and complementarities for resiliency and greenness in supply chains, specify the criteria for resiliency and greenness, and propose MCDM approach to solve the supplier selection problem with respect to resiliency and greenness. Trivellas et al ( 2020 ) focus on green supply chain management implications for sustainable supply chain performance. Ji et al ( 2020 ) analyze the roles of resilience and knowledge combination of supply chain in terms of the green supplier integration.…”
