Abstract
The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of corporate sustainable development on green purchasing. A conceptual model was recommended and empirically tested to identify the relationship of corporate sustainable development (environmental development, economic development and social development) towards green purchasing. Questionnaires were sent to all 621 ISO 14001 qualified manufacturing corporations in Malaysia and a total of 146 responses were obtained. A regression analysis was conducted to analyse the data and to test the hypotheses that corporate sustainable development has a positive effect towards green purchasing. Findings of this study identified that all three facets of corporate sustainable development (environmental development, economic development and social development) has a positive effect towards green purchasing. These results present empirical evidence concerning the significant relationship of corporate sustainable development towards green purchasing among ISO 14001 qualified manufacturing companies in Malaysia.
期刊介绍:
IJISM''s thematic focus is on research that investigates and improves integration along supply chains. IJISM seeks high-impact scholarly analytical and empirical research in integrated supply management from academics and professionals. It is discipline-agnostic. Supply chain integration can be a complex and challenging imperative involving industry 4.0 ecosystems, alignment of supply markets and consumers, associated organisational changes, and the creation and management of integrative relationships in the supply chain. Substantive research that addresses such issues is solicited. Topics covered include: -Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing/service eco-systems including blockchains, robotics, wearables, sensors, AI, data mining, additive technologies, etc. in integrated supply chains -Global integrated supply chain design -Purchasing and supplier coordination and relationships -New modelling, optimisation and empirical methodologies in integrated supply chain design and management -Risk management and resilience -Sustainable operations and sharing and circular economies -Lean supply managenent -Quality management in supply chains -Transportation and logistics -Customer relationship, service response, demand management in supply chains -E-commerce supply management -Performance measurement in supply chains
