“…Validi et al [143] provide a mathematical model to select the shortest path allowing to reduce environmental harmful emission in the field of food supply chain. Yang et al [144] carry out a survey and apply a structural equation model to demonstrate that the adoption of energy-efficient and green practices positively impacts on competitiveness. Zhu and Sarkis [145] adopt a moderated hierarchical regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between the adoption of green supply chain practices and economic 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.

“…By implementing green customer and supplier integration, supply chain partners can work to solve environmental problems jointly [19][20][21]. They can combine external resources and internal resource endowments to generate benefits [1, 9,22].…”

“…Although green external integration is considered to be performance-enhancing, it is questionable whether firms with different sizes can share equal benefits from green integration [1, 9,20]. As indicated by OC, large and medium firms will be more capable of integrating leading customers into their environmental activities, because customers are more willing to do business with large firms [24,25].…”

The Influence of Green External Integration on Firm Performance: Does Firm Size Matter?

Abstract:Although the importance of green external integration has been widely recognized, our understanding of how firm size influences its link with firm performance is still limited. This study develops a conceptual framework in which firm size is proposed to moderate the relationships between green external integration, the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products and firm performance. We examine this model using data collected from 176 Chinese manufacturing companies. The results reveal that firm size moderates the relationship between green customer integration and business performance, the relationship between green supplier integration and operational performance, and the relationship between the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products and business performance. In addition, green customer and supplier integration improve both operational and business performance entirely by decreasing the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products for large firms, while green customer integration enhances operational performance entirely by shortening the time-to-market of environmentally friendly products for small and medium firms. These findings have important implications for research and practice in the fields of green supply chain integration and green innovation.

“…The measurement scales are concerned with the ISO 14000 certificate, second-tier suppliers' environmental activities' evaluation, ecological proof of products, environmental management guidelines and cooperation for reducing environmental impact [31]. Yang et al [32] argues that green practices are potential strategic capabilities and used measurements related to green policy, green shipping practices and green marketing to evaluate internal green practices of container shipping firms in Taiwan.…”

Environmental Capabilities of Suppliers for Green Supply Chain Management in Construction Projects: A Case Study in Korea

et al. 2016

Green supply chain management (GSCM) enhances a firm's competitiveness for sustainable growth. GSCM is especially important in the construction industry, a project-based business that often results in heavy environmental pollution. For the successful implementation of GSCM in the construction industry to occur, contractors should make the best use of suppliers' environmental capabilities based on shared understanding of the capabilities. This paper examines the shared understanding of suppliers' environmental management capabilities between the contractor and suppliers by assessing the consistency between the contractor's and suppliers' evaluations of the capabilities. This explorative case study investigates a supply chain comprised of a major construction firm and 106 suppliers in Korea. The results of the case analysis show that the suppliers' self-evaluation scores of environmental capability are higher than the contractor's evaluation scores. Furthermore, from both evaluators, suppliers received the lowest scores in the evaluation item rating the relationship with second-tier suppliers and the highest in the evaluation item rating the relationship with the contractor. The consistency between the suppliers' and contractor's evaluation is related to several characteristics of suppliers, such as industry type, firm size and partnership duration with the contractor. This study contributes to the literature of GSCM and strategic alignment amongst supply chain partners for the construction industry.
