“…The design phase provides the greatest possibility for affecting the energy efficiency of the product and its production, and lays the foundation for subsequent work with energy efficiency. The product design has also been raised in previous research as important factors for reduced use of energy and other resources as well as reduced environmental impact; see for example Reference [6][7][8][9][10]12,14,[17][18][19][24][25][26]31,[44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. In the design phase, a life cycle perspective, including the manufacturing phase (e.g., production processes, packaging, transportation, and storage), the use phase and end-of-life handling is important [14,18,24,26,44,49].…”

Improved energy efficiency in supply chains can reduce both environmental impact and lifecycle costs, and thus becomes a competitive advantage in the work towards a sustainable global economy. Viewing the supply chain as a system provides the holistic perspective needed to avoid sub-optimal energy use. This article studies measures relating to technology and management that can increase energy efficiency in the supply chains of five aluminium products made in Sweden. Additionally, energy efficiency potentials related to the flows of material, energy, and knowledge between the actors in the supply chains are studied. Empirical data was collected using focus group interviews and one focus group per product was completed. The results show that there are several areas for potential energy efficiency improvement; for example, product design, communication and collaboration, transportation, and reduced material waste. Demands from other actors that can have direct or indirect effects on energy use in the supply chains were identified. Despite the fact that companies can save money through improved energy efficiency, demands from customers and the authorities would provide the additional incentives needed for companies to work harder to improve energy efficiency.

“…Hence most Indian companies need to shift or modify their existing SCM to GSCM to environmental sustainability, starting with the green procurement strategies. The authors like [14] have found that the aftermath of climate change and global warming are increasing in the mind of consumers,andhence, this matter is taken seriously not only by industries and practitioners but also consumers. Enterprises are facing problems in reducing waste, CO2 emission, and utilization of energy.…”

Environmental protection is the primary responsibility of any contemporary Indian manufacturing organization. The trade barriers and meeting the regularities for the supplier in the developing countries to supply their products globally has to face multiple challenges in both importing and exporting. However, the concept of green practices is relatively new to the Indian manufacturing industry, specifically to small and medium scale industries (SME). The SME finds it challenging to practice green concepts due to a lack of green-related education and practitioners. An extensive literature review carried out to identify the practical barriers to Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices. They identified nine barriers are studied thoroughly and analyzed using Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) technique. The identified barriers are classified using Matrice d’Impacts croises-multiplication appliqúe an classment (MICMAC) analysis to determine the driving and dependence power of each barrier. The benefaction from this study is to find out the dominant barriers to GSCM practice in the Indian industry and helps to understand the high priority barriers with strong driving and craving power. The developed model using the ISM technique helps the Indian manufacturing industry to understand interdependencies and contextual relationships of the obstacles

Summary This study provides an overview of green supply chain management (GSCM) in the context of renewable energy sources. Thus, it establishes a green management standard with GSCM that companies can adopt. The environmental, economic, and social components determine the concept of GSCM. However, the development and commercialization of renewable energy and sustainable manufacturing practices play a fundamental role in shaping the traditional supply chain management (SCM) and business models. GSCM means that firms and organizations must balance economic and environmental performance to stay competitive, and conform with regulatory and community pressures. This has forced enterprises to design and implement strategies such as eco‐efficiency, greener production, and cleaner environmental practices, for green management practices, which aim at reducing the environmental impacts of their operations. This study further highlights insights needed to significantly improve performance and overcome barriers to the development of renewable energy green supply chain management (REGSCM). It also presents useful techniques by outlining better control chain costs to make renewable energy more affordable and efficient, and a new conceptual model that is mainly grounded within the network of distributed energy systems in the context of GSCM. This concept allows renewable energy producers to sell their surplus electricity based on a peer‐to‐peer (P2P) network or sell directly via the general market. Specifically, this model brings to bear the linkages to the creation of value by firms.
