Construction and Optimization of Green Supply Chain Management Mode of Agricultural Enterprises in the Digital Economy

Digital economy is a rapidly developing economic form under the background of the information age. This article introduces the construction and optimization of the green supply chain management model of agricultural enterprises under the digital economy, and intends to provide some ideas and directions for the development of green supply chain management of agricultural enterprises based on digital economy. This paper proposes the construction and optimization research methods of the green supply chain management model of agricultural enterprises under the digital economy, including the overview of green supply chain management, the construction of the optimization management model of the green supply chain of agricultural enterprises, and the digital economy under the construction of a green supply chain management practice index system for agricultural enterprises. Experimental results show that average Cronbachα value of each scale factor of the optimized management model in this paper is 0.876, and optimized decision-making coordination mechanism has high internal consistency.

Green Capabilities Mediate the Effect of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on Farmers Business Performance and Vegetable Non-Pesticide (Study on “Lestari” Women Farmer Group in Bantul Regency)

The purpose of this research to find out and analyze the influence of Green Supply Chain Management consisting of Green Policy, Green Purchasing, and Green Packaging on Business Performance consisting of Environmental Performance and Economic Performance through Green Capabilities on non-pesticide fruit and vegetable farmers. The sampling technique used is the census method with a total of 60 respondents. Respondents in this study were all members of the KWT (Kelompok Wanita Tani/ Women Farmer Group) “Lestari” in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The type of research conducted is survey research. The data analysis technique in this study was divided into descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis with the help of the SmartPLS 3.2.9 program. The results of this study indicate that Green Policy and Green Packaging have a significant positive effect on Business Performance; Green Purchasing has a significant negative effect on Business Performance; Green Policy and Green Purchasing have a significant positive effect on Green Capabilities; Green Packaging has a significant negative effect on Green Capabilities; and Green Policy and Green Purchasing have a significant positive effect on Business Performance through Green Capabilities.

Mediating Role of Green Supply Chain Management Between Lean Manufacturing Practices and Sustainable Performance

Manufacturing companies in today's industrial world are seeking to use the new manufacturing process methods. The primary goal of corporations is to achieve optimum production while deploying minimal capital. The fundamental purpose of this study is to examine the influence of various lean manufacturing practices on the sustainability performance of companies and the mediating role of green supply chain management (GSCM). The data was gathered using questionnaires from 250 Pakistani manufacturing firms and analyzed using AMOS 25. Results demonstrate that process and equipment, product design, supplier relationships, and customer relationships significantly affect sustainable performance. It is also recognized that Green Supply Chain Management mediates the interaction between HR processes, product design, supplier relationship, customer relationship, and environmental performance. The findings of this study will enable managers and decision-makers of manufacturing companies to increase sustainable efficiency and reduce waste through the use of lean manufacturing and GSCM implementation.

Practice of Green Supply Chain Management and Organization Performance in the Manufacturing Industries of the Kathmandu Valley

This chapter aims to analyze the practice of green supply chain management and organization performance in manufacturing industries of Kathmandu valley. This study uses descriptive research design. Two hundred and seven manufacturing industries in three industrial estates (Balaju, Bhaktapur, and Patan) of Kathmandu valley were taken as a sample for the study whereas all 245 operating industries were the population of the study. The findings revealed that 33.3% of industries are highly practicing green supply management chain whereas 23.7% and 19.6% are practicing it moderately and less, respectively. It was found that industries of all scale—large, medium, and low—are equally practicing green supply management chain to a greater extent. Thus, the study concludes that manufacturing industries ought to consider the systemic interaction between the internal and external facets of the application of the GSCM and to ensure that their respective operations are integrated in order to achieve improved environmental and organizational efficiency and consequently to achieve economic benefits.

Drivers and barriers in the adoption of green supply chain management in construction projects: A case of Indonesia

The concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is attracting attention to the construction industry to minimise adverse environmental effects. However, its application is not common in developing countries like Indonesia. Based on contractors’ and construction design consultants’ point of view, the current study attempts to identify the drivers and barriers to adopting GSCM in construction projects in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The research study used previous literature, observation, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews with experts on drivers and barriers to implementing Green Supply Chain Management in construction. Data were analysed using SPSS and evaluated by the ordinal regression analysis method. Based on testing in ordinal regression analysis, seven factors were identified as drivers or barriers to the adoption of GSCM in construction projects in Central Java Province, and four of them affect significantly. The driving factors that significantly affect the adoption of GSCM include government regulations on environmental protection and pressure from the supply chain stakeholders. On the other hand, the barrier factors include the shortage of suppliers who implement GSCM practices in the construction area and inadequate knowledge and awareness about the impact of construction activities on the environment. This work could give the policymakers’ insight into the barriers and drivers to GSCM, thus enabling them to develop strategies in implementing GSCM in the construction industry.
