Investigating the relationship between green supply chain management practices and greenhouse gas emission performance

摘要

Although the literature has predominantly investigated the relationship between green supply chain management practices (GSCMP) and overall environmental performance, research till date has rarely focused on elemental environmental performance such as air emission or greenhouse gas emission (GHGe). Additionally, the level of GSCMP varies in different industrial contexts due to different drivers and institutional pressures. The study of GSCMP in the UK chemical industry is still undiscovered. Hence, this study investigates the relationship between GSCMP and GHGe through multiple-regression. Data has been collected from 45 environmental reports and CDP reports from UK chemical companies applying quantitative content analysis.
