Abstract

This study investigates how green supply chain management (GSCM) practices help translate the proactive environmental strategies (PES) of third-party logistics providers (TPLs) into enhanced economic and environmental performances. The survey data from 232 French TPLs suggest that the positive influence of PES orientations on environmental performance depends on the types of GSCM practices that are mobilised. More specifically, the study reveals that environmental performance is positively influenced by both eco-efficiency and eco-branding orientations through three main GSCM practices: distribution and transport, warehousing and green building, and reverse logistics. However, neither of these orientations influence environmental performance through two other GSCM practices: cooperation with customers and eco design and packaging, and only eco-efficiency orientations positively influence environmental performance through green supply. The study further suggests that an improved environmental performance helps TPLs increase their economic performance. Overall, this study offers interesting insights into the role of GSCM practices in managing TPLs’ PES orientations to improve their performances.

走向绿色?调查主动环境战略、GSCM 实践和第三方物流供应商 (TPL) 绩效之间的关系

摘要

本研究调查绿色供应链管理 (GSCM) 实践如何帮助将第三方物流供应商 (TPL) 的主动环境战略 (PES) 转化为增强的经济和环境绩效。来自 232 个法国 TPL 的调查数据表明,PES 导向对环境绩效的积极影响取决于所动员的 GSCM 实践类型。更具体地说,该研究表明,环境绩效通过三个主要的 GSCM 实践受到生态效率和生态品牌导向的积极影响:分销和运输、仓储和绿色建筑以及逆向物流。然而,这两个方向都没有通过另外两个 GSCM 实践影响环境绩效:与客户合作以及生态设计和包装,只有生态效率导向才能通过绿色供应对环境绩效产生积极影响。该研究进一步表明,环境绩效的改善有助于 TPL 提高其经济绩效。总体而言,这项研究为 GSCM 实践在管理 TPL 的 PES 方向以提高其绩效方面的作用提供了有趣的见解。
