Abstract
This article examines the significance of reducing carbon emissions in a sustainable supply chain (SSC) through carbon trading price. It delves into how contracts coordinate supply chains amid market demand uncertainty by focusing on a model in which demand fluctuates based on pricing and sustainability factors. The study highlights conflicts arising from different profit motives within the supply chain and suggests using synchronization mechanisms based on contracts. Three types of contracts—two‐part tariff, revenue sharing, and quantity flexibility—are analyzed for their impact on supply chain coordination and profitability. The study concludes that two‐part tariff contract can enhance coordination and profit distribution within the chain, while revenue sharing may benefit producers more but reduce retailer profitability. Moreover, while quantity flexibility may be less effective in synchronizing the chain, it can still boost profitability.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
