The transport and logistics sector is of vital importance for the stimulation of trade and hence the economic development of nations. However, over the last few years, this sector has taken central stage in the green agenda due to the negative environmental effects derived from its operations. Several disciplines including operations research and sub-areas of supply chain management such as gre…
Major ports such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Houston and Singapore’s Jurong Port host large industrial complexes of (petro)chemical and other energy-intensive process industry firms. Port authorities face the challenge to contribute to both greater international competitiveness and better environmental performance of these complexes. The development of industrial ecosystems, in which firms located…
Environmental performance measurement systems (EPMS) in supply chains are increasingl important.The aim of this paper is to investigate the purposes of having an EPMS in logistics and inwhat ways the purpose of an EPMS can influence its focus in the supply chain.
The purpose of this study is to draw on several perspectives rarely used in reverse logistics (RL) research – such as sustainable development, the natural resource-based view and green innovation – to examine the relationship between RL innovation and environmental and economic performance while incorporating institutional theory to verify how institutional pressures moderate these relation…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the salient task environment on reverse logistics (RL) practices and organizational performance in the context of Taiwanese computer, communication, and consumer (3C) electronics retail industry.
We develop two slacks-based efficiency measures for modeling environmental performance on the basis of environmental DEA technology. Of the two measures, one is a composite index with a higher discriminating power for modeling economic–environmental performance, and the other can be used to estimate the impacts of environmental regulations. We apply the proposed measures to model the CO2 emis…
