Abstract
Nowadays companies are enforced to adopt special ecological practices to show a green image and differentiate themselves from their competitors due to the economic, ecological, and social effects of organisational measures. Green supply chain management is a philosophy that aims at improving environmental performance of organisations. Under the pressure of owners of capital, environmental laws and regulations, companies are forced to improve their environmental performance, including operations such as green purchases, green designs, and product recycling. Therefore, the assessment of green supply chain management is important. One of the techniques that can be applied to assess greenhouse gas supply management is data envelopment analysis. The traditional models of data envelopment analysis deal with decision-making units like the black box. The purpose of this study was to develop a multi-objective network data envelopment analysis model to evaluate greenhouse gas supply chain management with undesirable outputs.
期刊介绍:
IJGE, a peer-reviewed international journal, proposes and fosters discussion on all aspects of Green Economics. It contributes to international research and practice in Green Economics with the aim of encouraging economic change and the positioning of Green Economics at the centre of the Economics disciplines. Green Economic theories and policies, tools, instruments and metrics are developed with the aim of offering practical and theoretical solutions and proposals to facilitate a change to the current economic models for the benefit of the widest number of people and the planet as a whole. IJGE focuses particularly on resource management, on meeting peoples’ needs and the impact and effects of international trends and how to increase social justice.
