Green Supply Chain Management,
Environmental Collaboration and
Sustainability Performance
(2015) Thoo Ai Chin, Huam Hon Tat, Zuraidah

The concept of GSCM is to integrate
environmental thinking into supply chain management (SCM). As such, GSCM is
important in influencing the total environment impact of any organizations
involved in supply chain activities. More importantly, GSCM can contribute to
sustainability performance enhancement. The hypothesized model linking the
relationship between GSCM practices, environmental collaboration and
sustainability performance is depicted in Figure 1. The GSCM practices are
conceptualized to include
green procurement, green
manufacturing, green distribution
and green logistics.
The sustainability performance
is investigated from
the perspectives of
economic, environmental and
social. The model
is mainly grounded
within the relational
view to explain
idiosyncratic
inter-organizational linkages.
The relational view theory was first articulated by Dyer and Singh to suggest that
established long-term collaborative relationship characterized by strong inter
-organizational interactions could facilitate firms
to pursue GSCM practices. In general,
the relational view provides insight
into how a firm develops
value-creating linkages with other firms
to achieve high profit
returns. Undeniably, the
collaborative supply chain
relationships are invariably
based on trust,
loyalty, a positive
sum game, fairness
in negotiations, goal
and intent revelation, and commitment.
