corporate Environmental Responsibility in the supply chain
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2008Co-Authors: Gyöngyi KovácsAbstract:Abstract A continuing trend in outsourcing increases the complexity of supply chains. Global supply chains extend over numerous echelons of countless companies. In parallel, the company-internal view on corporate Environmental Responsibility is being challenged as customers and legislation alike broaden a company's Environmental Responsibility to include organisations' upstream as well as downstream in the supply chain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine corporate Environmental Responsibility beyond corporate boundaries, i.e. in the supply chain. A cross-industrial study based on 16 case studies in Finnish trans-national corporations sheds light on various dimensions of corporate Environmental Responsibility upstream and downstream of product and process supply chains. Conclusions were drawn for corporate Environmental Responsibility as well as for the role of supply chain management in extending Environmental demand over several echelons and diverse industries.

Stakeholder salience and Environmental Responsibility: a cross-industrial comparison
Progress in Industrial Ecology An International Journal, 2006Co-Authors: Gyöngyi KovácsAbstract:Corporations have recently started to acknowledge that they cannot tackle their social and Environmental responsibilities by themselves. Concepts such as extended producer Responsibility and life cycle assessment approaches have drawn attention to the corporate Environmental Responsibility beyond corporate boundaries. Also, approaches based on the stakeholder theory and industrial ecology extend the discussion of corporate Environmental Responsibility to sustainability networks. This study explores the salience of different stakeholders for corporate Environmental Responsibility. Cost efficiency, and value-advantage-seeking approaches to corporate Environmental Responsibility are contrasted and related to differences in stakeholder salience. Cross-industrial comparisons are made in order to account for significant differences between industries.

Environmental Responsibility for sulfur dioxide emissions and associated biodiversity loss across chinese provinces
Environmental Pollution, 2019Co-Authors: Joao F D Rodrigues, Yuan Qian, Paul Behrens, Arnold Tukker, Pingke Li, Laura SchererAbstract:Recent years have witnessed a growing volume in Chinese interregional trade, along with the increasing disparities in Environmental pressures. This has prompted an increased attention on where the responsibilities for Environmental impacts should be placed. In this paper, we quantify the Environmental Responsibility of SO2 emissions and biodiversity impacts due to terrestrial acidification at the provincial level for the first time. We examine the Environmental Responsibility from the perspectives of production, consumption, and income generation by employing a Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) model for 2007, 2010, and 2012. The results indicate that ?40% of SO2 emissions were driven by the consumption in provinces other than where the emissions discharged. In particular, those developed provinces were net importers of SO2 emissions and mainly outsourced their emissions to nearby developing provinces. Over the period of analysis, Environmental inequality among 30 provinces was larger than GDP inequality. Furthermore, Environmental inequality continued to increase while GDP inequality decreased over the time period. The results of a shared income- and consumption-based Responsibility approach suggest that the Environmental Responsibility of SO2 emissions and biodiversity impacts for developed provinces can reach up to ?4- to 93-fold the Environmental pressure occurred within those provinces. This indicates that under these accounting principles the developed northern provinces in China would bear a much larger share of the Environmental Responsibility. © 2018 Elsevier LtdWe calculate the shared responsibilities for SO2 emissions in China and find them to differ significantly from the production-based reduction targets set by governments. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

assessment of Environmental Responsibility of oil and gas companies in russia the rating method
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016Co-Authors: Evgeny Arkadievitch Shvarts, Alexander Pakhalov, Alexey Yu KnizhnikovAbstract:Abstract The article analyzes preconditions, specifics, and results of the first Russian Environmental rating of oil and gas companies. The Russian oil and gas industry, strategically important for the national economy, is also Environmentally unfriendly and opaque. Companies lack adequate motivation to follow best international Environmental standards and practices for disclosure of information about their Environmental performance and impacts. Environmental Responsibility of the oil and gas sector has been subject to both public scrutiny and scientific discussions for many decades; however, these issues have been rarely (if ever) explored using a reliable and equitable tool which would provide for comparison between different companies. This article attempts to analyze the application of such a tool – Environmental Responsibility rating of oil and gas companies in Russia. The idea behind launching the rating was to provide end consumers and financial institutions an opportunity to compare the companies' products and services and to evaluate corporate risks (including reputation) on the basis of unbiased comparison and evaluation of the companies' Environmental Responsibility and their management's commitment. The rating's rationale is premised on the assumption that an Environmental rating based on publicly available data and information could be accepted by companies' top management as a competitive advantage (or disadvantage) in obtaining access to better (cheaper and long-term) financial resources, and in improving market demand for their final value-added products. This study offers a complex analysis of qualitative and quantitative indicators of companies' activities in three fields: Environmental management, Environmental impact, and disclosure/transparency. The rating's results demonstrate that there are big differences among Russian oil and gas companies in their levels of Environmental Responsibility and transparency. Large, publicly-traded companies with a strategic focus on gas have received top ratings. Privately held, smaller oil companies are at the bottom, along with the subsidiaries of major Russian and international corporations (transparency of subsidiary companies tends to be lower than that of parent corporations). In some cases, a close relationship between the company's management and population of the surrounding region plays a positive role in promoting Environmental Responsibility. Assumptions for this Environmental rating have been at least partially confirmed by the positive dynamics of the associated petroleum gas (APG) utilization level by oil and gas companies in Russia. This rating is based on novel and creative approach and has already contributed to forming average quantitative impact indicators in the industry. The assumptions and conclusions of this study can also be tested by comparing the first Environmental rating of oil and gas companies' data with the data produced in the next rating.

dual channel structure choice of an Environmental Responsibility supply chain with green investment
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019Co-Authors: Tiaojun Xiao, Deyan Yang, Jian HuangAbstract:Abstract With the rapid development of e-commerce, many green manufacturers are increasingly adopting dual-channel structure to sell their products. However, in the sustainable development social movement, Environmental Responsibility behavior is regarded as an important factor for the choice of the dual-channel structure. This article clearly models the Environmental Responsibility behaviors of both manufacturer and consumers to study the dual-channel structure strategy of a green manufacturer and further examines its Environmental performance under fuzzy uncertainties. By solving game models, dual-channel structure strategy under considering behavioral characteristics is obtained. Some interesting and unique findings are generated. Specifically, a high manufacturer's Environmental Responsibility degree and green costs impede while the green level and consumer demand uncertainty encourage the manufacturer to open his online channel. Although improving the green level, dual channels may not be beneficial to environment protection. Moreover, when green costs are relatively low, the retailer might be benefit from the introduction of the direct channel.
