investigating the relationship of sustainable Supply Chain Management with corporate financial performance
International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 2013Co-Authors: Zhihong Wang, Joseph SarkisAbstract: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 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.

Impact of Supply Chain Management practices on sustainability
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2014Co-Authors: Kannan Govindan, Susana G. Azevedo, Helena Carvalho, Virgilio Cruz-machadoAbstract:This paper aims to investigate the impact of lean, resilient and green Supply Chain Management practices on Supply Chain sustainability. A deductive research approach was used to derive a conceptual model. Eighteen research propositions are suggested and tested with empirical data derived from five case studies belonging to the Portuguese automotive Supply Chain. A conceptual model to assess the impact of lean, resilient and green practices on Supply Chain sustainability was derived from the data analysis. The practices with significant impact on Supply Chain sustainability are: "waste elimination," "Supply Chain risk Management" and "cleaner production." The following lean, resilient and green Supply Chain Management practices do not have a significant impact on Supply Chain sustainability: "flexible transportation," "flexible sourcing," "ISO 14001 certification," and "reverse logistics." The paper provides a taxonomy for lean, resilient and green Supply Chain Management practices at three levels: upstream, organization and downstream. Practitioners can use this taxonomy as a checklist to identify possible practices to achieve their sustainability goals. The proposed model makes it possible for researchers to develop surveys in order to better explore the proposed relationships. This paper presents an innovative approach since it studies simultaneously the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic), and the lean, resilient and green Supply Chain Management paradigms which are considered strategic for Supply Chain competitiveness. Identification of the conceptual relationships between Supply Chain Management practices and sustainability is a contribution that the authors hope will become a forward step in the development of new theoretical approaches and empirical research in the field of Supply Chain Management and sustainability.

an analysis of the drivers affecting the implementation of green Supply Chain Management
Resources Conservation and Recycling, 2011Co-Authors: Ali Diabat, Kannan GovindanAbstract:Green Supply Chain Management has emerged as an important organizational philosophy to reduce environmental risks. We develop a model of the drivers affecting the implementation of green Supply Chain Management using an Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) framework. The various drivers of green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) are identified based on the GSM literature and on consultations with experts in the industry. The model developed is validated on a case study involving a manufacturing firm in southern India.

putting sustainability into Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management, 2014Co-Authors: Philip Beske, Stefan SeuringAbstract:Purpose – The aim of this paper is to identify key categories of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and related practices that are required to fulfill the demands of sustainability and, therefore, contributing to sustainability performance. As part of this, the authors will identify different approaches in practice implementation in SSCM and Supply Chain Management (SCM). SSCM has become a topic of great interest and is linked to the assumption that a more sustainable performance for businesses would be achieved on its implementation. Such performance has to be achieved with respect to all three dimensions of sustainability. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is conceptual in nature. The authors draw from literature on SSCM and examine frameworks and critical accounts on the topic. This allows identifying key aspects of SSCM and pointing out differences and overlaps with SCM. Findings – The authors identify five key categories which are of high importance for the sustainable Management of sup...

Core issues in sustainable Supply Chain Management - A Delphi study
Business Strategy and the Environment, 2008Co-Authors: Stefan Seuring, Martin MullerAbstract:Sustainable Supply Chain Management has emerged as a growing topic, receiving increas- ing interest in the sustainability and Supply Chain Management area. So far, the fi eld is dominated by either case or survey based research. Few attempts have been made to take a broader look at the overarching issues, which form core topics of sustainable Supply Chain Management. This paper presents the fi ndings from a Delphi study where experts were asked to contribute their opinion. The Delphi study allows an aggregation of these opinions and extracts underlying topics in a structured manner. Four major topics were identifi ed, which are (1) pressures and incentives for sustainable Supply Chain Management, (2) iden- tifying and measuring impacts on sustainable Supply Chain Management, (3) supplier Management (particularly addressing issues at the supplier–buyer interface) and (4) Supply Chain Management (dealing with issues across all companies involved in the Supply Chain). The research presented contributes to substantiating and consolidating the fi eld of sustain- able Supply Chain Management. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

a framework of Supply Chain Management literature
European Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management, 2001Co-Authors: Keah Choon TanAbstract:Over the past decade, the traditional purchasing and logistics functions have evolved into a broader strategic approach to materials and distribution Management known as Supply Chain Management. This research reviews the literature base and development of Supply Chain Management from two separate paths that eventually merged into the modern era of a holistic and strategic approach to operations, materials and logistics Management. In addition, this article attempts to clearly describe Supply Chain Management since the literature is replete with buzzwords that address elements or stages of this new Management philosophy. This article also discusses various Supply Chain Management strategies and the conditions conducive to Supply Chain Management. ( 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
