Green Supply Chain Design and Management Zuo-Jun Max Shen
Increasing environmental awareness has resulted in great interest in supply chain sustainability. Studies have shown that a large proportion of the carbon emission actually comes from the upstream and downstream members of the supply chain, so there is great need to access the greenness of a supply chain as a whole. For example, Wal-Mart found out that 90 % of their carbon emission comes from their suppliers. However, many activities in the supply chain are dependent and thus identifying the carbon emissions from each activity is difficult. To overcome those difficulties, we need to understand the important issues in green supply chains and the state-of-art research. In this talk, I will review various issues in green supply chain design and management and point out some research opportunities.
