“…In addition, investments in green technologies can lead to a reduction in the total cost of the supply chain, as well as to a reduction in carbon emissions, [24]. Following the analysis of the data obtained from 16,119 companies, the results showed that there is a positive relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the financial performance of companies.…”

“…There is a strong relationship between financial returns and sustainability, explained by the level of performance for all the metrics analyzed (Carhart's alpha, Sharpe, net return, reduced cost).

Considering the growing of high alarm signals on environmental issues, the implementation of green, sustainable, responsible investments has become a priority for each organization, in addition to maximizing profits and harmonious development with the environment. The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of implementing green investments within organizations and to identify the drivers that influence decisions for the implementation of green investments. In order to achieve this, two types of analyses were used: bibliometric analysis and systematic analysis, researching the representative studies in the field. The search was carried out for the period 1990–2020, and the analyzed sample comprised 444 articles. Following the application of the two methods of analysis, the results show that in the last 6 years the interest of companies in green investments has increased significantly, organizations being concerned with the efficient use of resources and environmental issues. This research highlights the internal and external drivers over which companies have a higher or lower control, as the case may be, in order to involve in green investments. The article offers new pathways for future research on this matter. Therefore, future research may develop a detailed description of the identified drivers for green investment. In addition, further research can calculate the level of the drivers’ impact on green investment and can identify that certain drivers should be more attentively treated. Moreover, subsequent works in this field can continue to identify new drivers or new ways of promoting the already identified drivers in the present research. Consequently, green investment could produce positive effects related to the reduction of pollution and global warming.

“…Mohammed et al (2017) optimized the design and planning of a multi-period close-loop supply chain under different carbon policies (including strict carbon cap policy) with demand and return uncertainties. Ghosh et al (2020b) examined the effect on green investment in a two-echelon supply chain with random demand under strict carbon cap policy. All the papers I have discussed here optimized production–inventory or supply chain models under strict carbon cap policy, but none of them considered defective items.…”

“…To illustrate my proposed model and to get outcomes (for the base case and sensitivity analyses) the following data set is considered. Most of the data are taken from published papers like – Ouyang et al (2004), Ghosh et al (2017), Ghosh et al (2020b)…”

“…Under strict carbon cap policy also organizations get a threshold level for emissions, and if they cross the given limit, they face an infinitely large penalty (Chen et al , 2013). So, organizations are bound to emit within the given limit (Ghosh et al , 2020b). Recently, many papers have presented a panoramic view about the advancements of recent works in the domain of green supply chain management.…”

PurposeThe yield of defective items and emissions of greenhouse gases in supply chains are areas of concern. Organizations try to reduce the yield defective items and emissions. In this paper, a constrained optimization model is developed with consideration of the yield of defective items and strict carbon cap policy simultaneously and then optimized. Further, sensitivity analyses have been carried out to draw different managerial insights. Precisely, we have tried to address the following research questions: (1) how to optimize the cost for a two-echelon supply chain considering yield of defective items and strict carbon cap policy, (2) how the total expected cost and total expected emissions act with changing parameters.Design/methodology/approachThe mathematical modeling approach has been adopted to develop a model and further optimized it with optimization software. Costs and emissions from different areas of a supply chain have been derived and then the total cost and total emissions have been formulated mathematically. One constrained mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem has been formulated and solved considering emissions-related, velocity and production related-constraints. Further, different sensitivity analyses have been derived to draw some managerial insights.FindingsIn this paper, many decision variables have been calculated with a set of basic values of other parameters. It has been found that both cost and emissions can be controlled by controlling different parameters. It has been also found that some parameters have very little or no influence either on cost or emissions. In most cases, originations may exhaust the given limit of carbon cap to optimize their costs.Originality/valueIn spite of my sincere efforts, no paper has been found that has considered the yield of defective items and strict carbon cap policy simultaneously. In this paper, it is assumed that both demand and defect rates are random in nature. The model, presented in this paper may give insights to develop different supply chain models with consideration of both defective items and strict carbon cap policy. Sensitivity analyses, drawn in this paper may give deep insights to managers and carbon regulatory bodies.
