1. Sustainable Green Supply Chain Management And Impact On Organisations

Nowadays, sustainable development has become a subject of focus and concern for governments, organisations, companies, communities as well as individuals. As a result of this, manufacturing companies and industries are the first to receive criticism due to manufacturing activities being assumed to be a major culprit in creating environmental and ecological issues. In the current century, limitations on resources and environmental concerns are one of the main trepidations of industries. Strained by the stress of limited resources, energy and very pressing environmental issues, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) actually revealed that the implications of green practices can save money, reduce cost, increase efficiency, reduce delivery lead time and sustain the business longer. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has appeared as an environmental innovation which integrates environmental concerns into supply chain management. 

From this research, the main objective that has been focused on is the impact of green supply chain management practices on organisational performance. 

The model and hypothesis were developed based on the dimensions of green supply chain management practices. From the research on the study, the results showed that green supply chain management practices and its elements are able to improve organisational performance and sustain the business.

2. The Study of Knowledge Transfer And Green Management Performance in Green Supply Chain Management

The information communication and knowledge exchange based on environmental friendly requirements among manufacturers is the critical success factor of green supply chain management (GSCM). The firms of IT industry in Taiwan with green supply chain implementation was used as the research objects to further explore constructs of knowledge transfer and the relationships between knowledge transfer and green management performance. 

The result showed that; 
(1) Information quality had significant positive impact on environmental management performance; 
(2) Information sharing and information quality did not have significant impact on positive economical performance; 
(3) Information sharing had positive significant impact on negative economical performance. 

The research findings revealed that firms should realize the effect of short-term costs and benefits on knowledge transfer in order to enhance green management performance.

3. The Impact Of The Green Supply Chain Management On Environmental - Based Marketing Performance

This study investigated the elements of the Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) “Internal Environmental Management, Green Purchasing, Green Information Systems, Cooperation with Customers, Eco-Design and Packaging, and Investment Recovery” and its impact on the environmental-based marketing performance . The results of the research showed that each of the studied factors or practices of the Green Supply Chain Manage- ment practices affect the environmental-based marketing performance.

4. The Relationship Between Green Supply Chain Management And Performance

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and firm performance in the manufacturing sector in Asian emerging economies (AEE) based on empirical evidence. Through a systematic literature review, we identified 50 articles that surveyed 11,127 manufacturing companies in the AEE and were published between 1996 and 2015. Subsequently, a conceptual framework was developed and analyzed through a meta-analysis of 130 effects from 25,680 effect sizes.

The findings revealed that the GSCM practices lead to better performance in four aspects: economic, environmental, operational, and social performance. Moreover, the results indicate that industry type, firm size, ISO certification, and export orientation moderate several of the GSCM practice-performance relationships. Moreover, the findings of this research help managers and policy makers to have more confidence in the adoption of GSCM practices to improve firm performance. Such results also help researchers to better channel their efforts in studying the GSCM practices in AEE. In addition, as meta-analysis has not been widely used in the supply chain management literature, our study is an important step in maturing the academic field by adopting this technique for confirming GSCM practice-performance relationships in the manufacturing sector of AEE.

5. Green Supply Chain Management In Production Sectors And Its Impact On Firm Reputation

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of Green Supply Chain Management practice on firm reputation. To investigate this, data were collected from executives and managers of production companies of reputed industries. A descriptive, correlational methodology was adopted and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling by using exploratory analysis and linear multiple regression analysis. 
The results revealed that the green purchasing, green manufacturing/material management, green distribution/marketing of production companies have a positive and significant impact on firm reputation. 
Finally, the results suggest that strengthening green supply chain management practice in production sectors improves firm reputation, which in turn increases firm revenue.

6. Investigating The Effect Of Supply Chain Management on Sustainable Performance Focusing On Environmental Collaboration

Shows the effect of green supply chain management practices on sustainable performance focusing on environmental collaboration. 311 pieceworkers companies in the field of automotive, motorcycle and agricultural machinery were investigated. Questionnaire was used for collecting data. Structural equation model were used as a technique to analyzing the data. The results of analyzing data showed that green supply chain management practices have positive effect on sustainable performance and environmental collaboration. As mediating variable environmental collaboration has also positive effect on green supply chain management practices focusing on environmental collaboration on sustainable performance. Green supply chain can help increasing sustainable performance and environmental collaboration is also considered as an important capability for facilitating executing green supply chain management. Both positively impact society through improvements to the overall environment. This research is one of the few studies that explore the effect of green supply chain management practices on sustainable performance focusing on environmental collaboration. Green supply chain management practices plays an important role of each enterprise which is involved with supply chain activities and it will help increasing sustainable performance.
