Abstract

Environmental issues like water, energy, and waste are necessitated organizations to understand that they are part of a more extensive system and their system needs to be radically transformed to respect to the society and guarantee the future of their business. More meticulously, the environmental issues would shape the future of the business. Therefore, to confront these issues practically, organizations need to be innovative and have the vision to redesign products, processes, and business models to reserve their seat for the future. This perspective is called sustainability. With the sustainability point of view, organizations have to have an understanding of their membership as a human community first, and a machine for making money second. However, there are several interpretations of sustainable business which translate it into the profitable business.

Among all components of an organization, supply chains (SCs) are critical links that connect an organization’s inputs to its outputs. Therefore, a sustainable SC can create opportunities and offers significant competitive advantages for early adoption of environmental changes and mandatory innovation. Consequently, a green SC management (GSCM) can lead to the profitability after adoption. With regard to the critical role of GSCM in the lifetime of any organization, this study aims to explore the key factors of GSCM, influencing the adoption, implementation, and performance of GSCM considering interdependency within an organization. Indonesia coal power generation as one of the world’s largest coal producers is selected as a case study.

Overview flowchart of the chapter

The second section reviews the background of GSCM. The adoption, implementation, and performance factors for GSCM are discussed with their related contents in this section.

The third section discussed the sustainability analysis and key factor screening. The discussed methods are including life-cycle assessment, equilibrium model, multi-criteria decision making, analytical hierarchy process, analytic network process, decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory, and influential network relations map.

The fourth part focuses on models and applications of proposed hybrid decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and analytic network process (ANP) called DANP on coal power generation industry in Indonesia as the case study.

The fifth section reviews the development and future trend of GSCM for smart management such as implications for motivating supplier social and environmental responsibility.

Finally, in the last section from the gap in the literature, we propose some managerial suggestions, for who are interested in walking into the field of GSCM. The study will be concluded by providing recommendations for further research and align our mindset for the next step.
