Abstract
The traditional development mode for social and economic progress has resulted in crises and challenges; therefore, various countries have begun to actively explore sustainable development. As a developing country, China has outstanding environmental problems. However, there are not many empirical studies on the influencing factors of sustainable supply chain in domestic enterprises. Therefore, according to the manufacturing industry in China, a hypothesis model of influencing factors of sustainable supply chain management is set up. The sustainable supply chain practice is based on three dimensions: economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and social sustainability. The influencing factors of sustainable supply chain include internal management cognition, industry pressure, consumer pressure, and government participation. A structural equation model was used to analyze the questionnaire data of 167 enterprises in Beijing, China. The results show that internal management cognition and government participation has a direct effect on the sustainable supply chain management practice, and internal management cognition has a strong positive influence. Consumer pressure and industry pressure have a small positive impact on internal management cognition, while the effect of government participation on industry pressure is very significant.
Highlights
Economic development and social progress have laid the material foundation for the birth of the theory of sustainable development
In 1996, the Manufacturing Research Institute (MRC) at Michigan State University conducted a study on environmental responsibility and put forward the concept of the green supply chain
Due to the conditions currently favoring the implementation of the sustainable supply chain management, many companies in the region have begun to implement this type of management
Summary
Economic development and social progress have laid the material foundation for the birth of the theory of sustainable development. The early sustainable supply chain was developed from the green supply chain. It is proposed that supply chain management should consider environmental protection and extend the concept of sustainability into the activities of production and consumption. More and more enterprises recognize the importance of sustainable supply chain management [6]. Companies such as Apple, Wal-Mart, and Ford are actively exploring sustainable supply chain management. Research shows that sustainable supply chain management offers great advantages. It can promote production efficiency for suppliers, help employees to improve labor relations, and save costs for enterprises [7,8]
