Abstract
Green Supply Chain Management and Environmental Performance: The moderating role of Firm Size
Highlights
The rapid growth in industrialization across the world has significantly contributed to climate change due to the depletion of natural resource which has led to greenhouse gas (GHG) effect [1]
The result showed that majority of respondents have worked in construction firms for a period of 4-6 years (34.1%); 26.3% have worked in construction firms for more than 10 years; 24.4% have worked in construction firms for 7-10 years and 15.2% have worked in construction firms for 1-3 years
29.5 of the respondents were from construction firms categorized as small (6-29 employees); 42.9% of the respondents were from construction firms categorized as medium (30-99 employees) and 27.6% were from construction firms categorized as large
Summary
The rapid growth in industrialization across the world has significantly contributed to climate change due to the depletion of natural resource which has led to greenhouse gas (GHG) effect [1]. The construction industry according to The United Nations Environment Programme - Sustainable Building and Climate Initiative (UNEP-SBCI) [2] is a major contributor to this global challenge as it accounts for about 30% of the global carbon emissions, 40% generated of global waste, 30% consumption of global resources and 25% consumption of water globally. Unless immediate measures are taken towards the adoption of green construction practices and sustainable management of the supply chains in this industry, the survival of future generations cannot be guaranteed [2, 5]. Green or sustainable supply chain management refers to internal environmental management practices within a company and external environmental management initiatives with an emphasis on cooperation with all the stakeholders [6].
