Background: The manufacturing industry in Malaysia is a significant contributor to national economic growth, yet it also generates substantial environmental challenges due to rapid industrial expansion. Promoting sustainability in this sector is therefore essential, particularly through the identification of key antecedents such as financial resources, management support, supply chain collaboration, and green procurement practices. These factors influence sustainability outcomes across the economic, environmental, and social dimensions. However, their individual contributions remain underexplored, particularly when considering the moderating effects of organizational ownership-whether private, public, or foreign-owned. Method: This study employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling [PLS-SEM] to analyze survey data from 330 employees in large and medium-sized manufacturing firms across Malaysia. Guided by the Natural Resource-Based View [NRBV] theory, it examines the influence of these antecedents on triple-bottom-line performance-covering environmental, social, and economic aspects-while considering the moderating role of organizational ownership. Results: This quantitative study employs a cross-sectional survey design, collecting data from 330 employees in large and medium-sized Malaysian manufacturing firms. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling [PLS-SEM], the study examines the impact of key antecedents on triple-bottom-line performance, including environmental, social, and economic dimensions, within the Natural Resource-Based View [NRBV] framework. The moderating effect of Organizational ownership is also assessed. Conclusion: Financial investment and green procurement emerge as key drivers of sustainability in Malaysian manufacturing. The study highlights the differentiated influence of ownership types and the relatively weaker impact of top management support and supplier collaboration. Strategically integrating these factors can improve sustainability outcomes and strengthen competitiveness in an increasingly eco-conscious global market.

Purpose: The aim of the research is to identify the most frequently undertaken research areas in scientific publications addressing the issues of green supply chain and green logistics simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach: The study was planned and carried out in the period from April to August 2024. The analyzed research areas were expressed through author keywords, which were assigned to individual scientific publications through their authors. The multi-stage research process used two methods for bibliometric research (systematic literature review and classical literature review). Author keywords assigned to 111 precisely selected scientific publications were analyzed. Findings: Nine of the most frequently addressed research areas in scientific publications that simultaneously addressed green supply chain and green logistics were identified. In terms of as many as three identified research areas, there was a direct reference to the supply chain (green supply chain, green supply chain management, supply chain management). In turn, in two areas there was a reference to sustainability issues (environmental sustainability, sustainability). In addition, the issue of reverse logistics was identified as a key research area and at the same time corresponding to the issue of green logistics. Research limitations/implications: An important factor limiting the study was the choice of database for bibliometric analyses (Scopus database). In addition, the scope of the analyses undertaken was limited to the constructed bibliometric query (Q1). However, both aspects indicated simultaneously made it possible to obtain precise and consistent results of the analyses. Moreover, it becomes possible to repeat the study in the future and compare it with other constructed studies aimed at literature review. Originality/value: The study, compared to other such bibliometric analyses, is distinguished by the syntax of the constructed query. In addition, it was noted that research should be undertaken in learning more about the role and importance of logistics and supply chain greening for emerging green business ecosystems. Other relevant areas are the question of green job creation due to the greening of supply chains, or how the green skills gap affects the process of green supply chain and green logistics. The article is addressed to anyone interested in issues related to green supply chain and green logistics.

Purpose: This paper assesses the adequacy of existing Cold Chain technologies for use during increased temperature, increased demand, and required environmental protection. The research problem lies in determining whether adopting the process of cold chain technologies due to observed environmental changes significantly improves the supply chain's resilience. The main hypothesis is that cold chain technologies deliver increased supply chain resilience. However, they require additional energy. Methodology: The paper consists of a description of existing CC technologies' conditions across industrial standards that relies on two stages: a description of regulations regarding cold chain technologies and a verification of the theoretical approach towards cold chain applications in the environmentally friendly supply chain. Findings: Energy usage restrictions and many regulatory requirements affect existing supply chains. Due to increased ambient temperatures, maintaining optimal temperatures in storage facilities becomes more difficult. This can lead to spoilage of perishable goods and require additional energy to maintain cool storage conditions. Product shortages and price fluctuations for various goods can also occur, creating uncertainty and instability within supply chains. Originality / value: Cold chain technologies improve the quality and efficiency of supply chain processes, yet changing environmental conditions make such systems more energy-hungry. Therefore, the demand for reliable and environmentally friendly cold chain solutions is increasing.The paper summarises selected requirements from public contracts, relating to WIM preselection systems in Poland. The difference between WIM and HS-WIM requirements is presented, and the differing requirements based on both international documentation and the standardised requirements that new or refurbished stations must meet are described.

This study investigates the impact of lean and green supply chain practices on business process performance and sustainable supply chain performance. The research utilises the resource-based view (RBV) theory to construct a conceptual model wherein lean and green supply chain practices are employed to augment business processes and sustainable performance. Concurrently, dynamic capabilities theory is applied to signify an organisation’s capacity to adapt and evolve in response to internal and external pressures from customers and competitors. The conceptual model is validated using structural equation modelling with a sample of 170 supply chain practitioners from the apparel and textile supply chain in Jordan. Results indicate that lean practices exhibit no direct impact, whereas green practices significantly influence business process performance and indirectly affect sustainable supply chain performance. Business process performance does not mediate the relationship for lean practices, but it does so for green practices. Moreover, the environmental orientation of both competitors and customers negatively moderates the impact of green practices on business processes and sustainable supply chain performance. These findings contribute to existing literature and underscore the crucial role of green supply chain practices in enhancing sustainable supply chain performance in the apparel and textile industry.

Recently, due to the increasing awareness of communities regarding environmental issues and environmental regulations, companies have evolved to provide products with lower prices and better quality to retain and attract customers. Economics should also pay attention to environmental goals. Therefore, it is essential to provide a supply chain model that can consider both economic and environmental objectives. In this paper, the green direct supply chain network is presented to an automotive company, including five suppliers, primary warehouses, manufacturing plants, distributors, and sales centers. The objectives of this model are to minimize the total cost of construction, transportation, and the amount of carbon dioxide emissions during forwarding network transportation at all levels. The proposed model is also drawn using the weight method, which is one of the methods for solving multi-objective problems, and the solution of the model part. Ultimately, it has been discussed how much the automobile company should focus on reducing carbon dioxide so that managers can determine the best solutions from the Pareto border according to their organization's priorities, which can be environmental or financial.

Purpose: When this abstract is completed, the economic situation caused by the pandemic will face serious problems. We have to do something. In our private and life and in our work also. The aim of our present study is to explore how environmental awareness is applied and in how it appears in companies, how it relates to the green supply chain, and what advantages and disadvantages companies could have they discovered. Design/methodology/approach: Our research is based on a primary research, which was conducted with a structured questionnaire among Hungarian companies. Our main objectives were to see what is going on with the green logistics plans before the pandemic season what could be achieved in the near future. Findings: Visible aspiration on the part of companies, we came across a number of good ideas, but unfortunately money is still a key motivation in the development plans of companies. Research limitations/implications: For future research, we will consider the current study as a basis, and due to the current viral situation, it will most likely show a less favorable result than at present, especially in the field of innovation. Practical implications: The article represents well the need for coordinated and collaborative developments more than ever, especially in the field of supply chain and green logistics. Social implications: A layer has already emerged in society where individuals and companies take the irreversible problems of environmental pollution seriously. We hope that after the publication of our article, more people will think that more needs to be done for our environment at both the individual and corporate levels before it is too late. Originality/value: The main originality of the study based on the fact that it is not enough to ask companies for their opinions on their own developments, it is also worth examining how much progress each development actually represents compared to the developments of others.

Background: Green supply chain management (GSCM) practices are considered as vital practices in tackling environmental issues faced by firms. This study examines the relationship between GSCM, environmental and financial performance of firms. Further, the study examines the mediating role of operational performance between the relationships of GSCM-environmental performance and GSCM-financial performance. Additionally, the moderating role of external pressures (regulatory and customer pressures) has been examined on the relationship of GSCM and operational performance. Methods: Data from 277 executives working in different industries of Pakistan (where GSCM practices have been adopted) has been collected for the study. Results: The results of the mediated regression analysis confirm the partial mediation of operational performance between GSCM, environmental and financial performance. The results of moderated regression analysis confirm that presence of external pressures enhances the relationship between GSCM and operational performance. Conclusions: These results suggest that the adoption of GSCM practices in Pakistan can be fruitful for the companies. Mandatory requirement by regulatory authorities can also be helpful in adoption of the GSCM practices which ensure environmental performance of firms and consequently the betterment of overall environment.

Environmentally and socially responsive supply chains are in the early adoption stages in India. Global supply chains need worldwide goals, and the key to the success of Green Supply Chain Management is to bring the worldwide industry together to decide upon and pledge to work towards reasonable and concrete goals that will make a real difference to the environment. Customers are increasingly demanding to know where products come from, how they are made and distributed and what impact future environmental legislations will have on the products they buy. The aim of this paper is to provide action plans and facilitate knowledge among supply chain practitioner that they need to go green the business efficiently, and communicate these efforts to their customers, partners, and the public. In fact, the paper discusses the key drivers for green initiatives include government compliance, improved customer and public relations, a decreased fuel bill and financial ROI through various supply chain initiatives such as reverse logistics. Further, increasing supply chain efficiency, improving investor relations, decreasing risk and a larger corporate responsibility agenda are identified as important factors in the strategic decision to go green. Companies working in India are not properly addressing these measures in supply chain design and operations. That is why, the paper further elaborates strategic management of green supply chain, which involves collecting and analyzing environmental regulations and customer concerns, discussing the relevant environmental issues with the procurement, manufacturing and quality control departments across the supply chain firms and finally developing and communicating the green supply chain policies to all members of the supply chain i.e. supplier’s supplier to customer’s customer.

Celem niniejszych rozważań jest zwrócenie uwagi na pozytywne wyniki związane z wdrożeniem aktywności prośrodowiskowych w łańcuchu dostaw oraz wskazanie, czy uwarunkowania kontekstualne, w jakich działają przedsiębiorstwa, wpływają na poziom osiąganej wydajności prośrodowiskowej. Przedmiotem badań są polskie przedsiębiorstwa produkcyjne. Badania empiryczne przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem autorskiego kwestionariusza ankiety. Między innymi dowiedziono, że wyższy poziom wyników prośrodowiskowych wypracowanych na rzecz interesariuszy wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych osiągają przedsiębiorstwa, które posiadają wyrównane siły przetargowe zarówno po stronie dostawców, jak i odbiorców, uczestniczą w międzynarodowych łańcuchach dostaw, posiadają zdywersyfikowany profil produkcji pod względem punktu rozdziału towarów, są przedsiębiorstwami dużymi oraz te, które w mniejszym stopniu dokonują outsourcingu zadań transportowych. Stwierdzono także, że niezależnie od przynależności do danej grupy klasyfikacyjnej zestaw najczęściej otrzymywanych wyników jest podobny.

The aim of this research is to draw attention to the positive results connected with the implementation of environmental activities in supply chains and to determine if contextual conditions, in which companies operate, are influencing the level of the achieved environmental efficiency. The subjects of the research were the Polish production companies. The empirical research was conducted with the use of own survey questionnaire. Among others, it was proven that the higher level of environmental results for internal and external stakeholders achieve companies, which have balanced purchasing powers both on the side of suppliers and customers, participate in international supply chains and have diversified production profile in respect of decoupling points, these that are large enterprises and companies, which are outsourcing transport activities to a lesser extent. Also, it was concluded that regardless of the group, the sets of the most often achieved results are similar.

W ostatnich latach wzrasta presja ze strony klientów, społeczności lokalnych, organizacji międzynarodowych, agencji rządowych i innych interesariuszy wobec świata biznesu w zakresie oczekiwań dotyczących ochrony środowiska. Celem opracowania jest więc ustalenie w jakim wymiarze przedsiębiorstwa przewartościowały podejście do zarządzania w łańcuchach dostaw w kierunku działań „zielonych”. Badania przeprowadzono wśród podmiotów zarejestrowanych w Polsce. W opracowaniu między innymi ustalono, że najbardziej popularne są działania realizowane w obszarze polityki produktowej, natomiast w najmniejszym stopniu działania wykonywane na linii producent – dostawca. Może to świadczyć o niskim poziomie rozwoju łańcuchów zielonych oraz o łatwiejszej możliwości egzekwowania zielonych zachowań od podmiotów z górnych odcinków łańcuchów dostaw.

In recent years the customers, local communities, international organizations, government agencies and other stake-holders have put pressure on the world of business for environmental protection. The aim of the study is to determine to what extent enterprises have re-evaluated the approach to management in the supply chain towards “green” activities. The research was conducted among entities registered in Poland. The study, among other things, established that most frequent activities are those implemented in the area of product policy, while the least frequent activities are those implemented in the line of producer-supplier activities. This may indicate a low level of development of green chains and an easier way to enforce green behaviour from entities from the upper section of the supply chain.

Background: The development of competitive advantage through the implementation of green supply chains is an interesting and a desirable way of the company's development from the perspective of social requirements. However, it is not always reflected in the requirements, which are posed by the market. The objective is therefore to conduct empirical studies as well as to design a model, which shall identify the relationships between the supply chain level of the engagement in pro-environmental activities and competitive instruments preferred by customers. Methods: In order to conduct the research, we conducted direct interviews with the use of a survey questionnaire. The subjects of the survey were medium and big production enterprises located in Wielkopolskie Voivodship. Results and conclusions: One of the findings of the conducted research, among others, was the conclusion that imposing pro-environmental demands from the side of direct customers leads to a higher level of company's engagement in this area. At the same time, we determined that the market requirements regarding environmental aspects are low. Therefore, there's an urgent need to develop some incentives, which are activating in this area of suppliers.

Wstęp: Wypracowanie przewagi konkurencyjnej drogą implementacji zielonych łańcuchów dostaw jest interesującą i pożądaną z punktu widzenia społecznych oczekiwań drogą rozwoju przedsiębiorstw, niemniej nie zawsze ma to odzwierciedlenie w wymaganiach, jakie stawia rynek. W związku z powyższym celem podjętych rozważań jest opracowanie modelu umożliwiającego zidentyfikowanie zależności występujących między stopniem zaangażowania przedsiębiorstw w działalność prośrodowiskową realizowaną wzdłuż łańcucha dostaw, a instrumentami konkurowania preferowanymi przez odbiorców oraz przeprowadzenie badań empirycznych. Metody: W celu przeprowadzenia badań przeprowadzono wywiady bezpośrednie na podstawie kwestionariusza ankiety. Podmiotem badań były średnie i duże przedsiębiorstwa produkcyjne zlokalizowane w województwie wielkopolskim. Rezultaty i wnioski: W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań między innymi ustalono, iż stawianie wymagań prośrodowiskowych ze strony bezpośrednich odbiorców wiąże się z wyższym poziomem zaangażowania przedsiębiorstw w omawianym obszarze zagadnień. Jednocześnie stwierdzono, że oczekiwania rynkowe dotyczące aspektów środowiskowych są niskie. Istnieje zatem pilna potrzeba wypracowania bodźców aktywizujących w tym obszarze odbiorców.

Supply chain management has been a focus of both practitioners and academics around the world for years now. But now one can see a clear shift from the analysis of SCM in terms of financial performance to paying attention to environmental aspects. This article is an attempt to identify the relationship between the implementation of the environmental management system ISO 14001 and creating green supply chains. Our results show that companies are aware of the impact of their pro-environmental attitudes on the entire supply chain. The attitude of companies towards green supply chains is determined by the companies’ characteristics such as area of business activity, conducting export activity, or period of validity of ISO 14001 certificate.
