Green supplier selection is a major factor that influences the implementation of green purchasing at 5 stars hotel in Bali
The category of suppliers understanding hotel needs is highly rated with an average score of 4.4762 and a standard deviation of 0.61846. This shows that suppliers are committed to the hotel, and with the category of selecting suppliers based on environmentally friendly criteria, it is possible to build long-term cooperation that will later be expected to bring benefits primarily related to costs
Summary
Pollution issues have become more and more local, national, and global concerns, especially in developing countries where many of the non-regulatory factors that reputedly motivate firms to improve environmental performance are relatively weak. Competing in the global market increasingly requires products that are innovative and environmentally friendly (Coyle J.J., Thomchick E.A., 2015; Smith, N., Halton, A. and Strachan, 2014). This obligation has led to a focus on creating green supply chains where companies adopt practices that minimize environmental damage (Aneyrao, T., & Ahemad, 2014; Zhang, X., Ma, X., & Wang, 2012). Green supply chains require integrating environmental thinking into supply chain management, including product design, procurement, and selection of materials, manufacturing processes, delivery of final products to consumers, and management of products whose economic and technical periods have ended (Srivastava, 2008)
