  • investigating the relationship of sustainable supply chain management with corporate financial performance
    International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 2013
    Co-Authors: Zhihong Wang, Joseph Sarkis
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether companies’ environmental and social supply chain activities are associated with their financial performance. Design/methodology/approach – A sample from the top 500 US companies based on Newsweek's green ranking is used. Data from the Bloomberg environmental, social and governance (ESG) and COMPUSTAT financial database are used for an empirical analysis of the relationships. Findings – Integrated sustainable supply chain management, jointly including social and environmental supply chain management, efforts is positively associated with corporate financial performance measured by return on assets and return on equity, and the positive effects can have a time lag of at least two years. Research limitations/Implications – By adopting the ESG database, the paper only tests corporate sustainability supply chain management using a binary 0-1 valuation. Three-year data period is also a limitation for an extensive time study. A Research Implication is...

Three-year data period is also a limitation for an extensive time study. A Research Implication is that win-win benefits may accrue, but additional nuances may exist such as indirect influences that need to be studied. Practical Implications - – Two major Implications of this study are that organizations may wish to implement both environmental and social supply chain management simultaneously to get the greatest benefit, and that managers need to be patient about reaping the rewards of these initiatives. Originality/value - – The paper contributes to the sustainability management literature by being the first to use publicly available data to investigate the financial benefits associated with individual and joint environmental and social supply chain management activities. The paper also uses a relatively large data set from US-based companies that have not been widely studied in the supply chain management literature.

  • construction and demolition waste recycling plants revisited management issues
    Procedia Engineering, 2017
    Co-Authors: Serdar Ulubeyli, Aynur Kazaz, Volkan Arslan
    Abstract:

    Abstract Today, recycling of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) by plants is a reasonable alternative to the existing unsustainable disposal methods such as landfilling and fly tipping. Therefore, this study aims to report current management issues of these plants in the literature. As a result, it was seen that these management issues investigated in past Researches can be classified under four main groups such as economics, environment, location, and administration. Their pros and cons were also revealed in a covering manner. As these issues have not been addressed together up to date and each one of them has been investigated separately, the present study is the first attempt to give a full picture of management issues of the recycling plants. Thus, it can fill the gap in the literature. As a Research Implication, this study may help Researchers who will investigate C&DW recycling plants from different perspectives. In terms of the practical Implication, it may attract attention of industrial practitioners and entrepreneurs in public authorities and the private sector to benefit from such wastes through plants. Finally, as a social Implication, better management of C&DW recycling plants can save and enhance the sustainability of the overall environment and affect society positively.
