| Title | Unlocking Productivity in Green Supply Chain Management |
| Author(s) | Dr. Saman Yapa |
| Description | Businesses are reevaluating supply chain management strategies in response to the dual challenges of minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing growth. Green supply chain management (GSCM) has emerged as a solution for this challenge. The P-Insights report Unlocking Productivity in Green Supply Chain Management by Dr. Saman Yapa, Professor of Decision Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenpura, Sri Lanka, explains the basics of GSCM using the examples of global giants Ikea and Nike as well as of smaller businesses in Asia. The examples and advice given are relevant to business leaders, consumers, and communities. Executives can follow the GSCM methods for green transformation, consumers of all ages are encouraged to examine green claims to avoid the “greenwashing” trap, and options are suggested for community-wide efforts. Even well-intentioned green initiatives may have unintended negative effects on the environment, and Dr. Yapa points out that the overall benefits of GSCM efforts must be considered in evaluating their effectiveness, contributions to a healthier planet, and increasing productivity and economic prosperity. |
