Mediating role of supply chain traceability and supply chain visibility on environmental performance led by sustainable supply chain collaboration

Abstract

Business organisations have a significant role be attentive towards environmental friendliness throughout their core business activities, as there are harmful impacts on human lives and nature owing to environment-related issues. To ensure the environmental performance at the organisational level in the supply chain, the business organisations have to work with different parties, as mentioned in organisational information theory. Nevertheless, the achievement of environmental performance is not ensured via sustainable supply chain collaboration. Hence, as highlighted in the coordination theory, transparent information must be generated within the sustainable supply chain collaboration to clinch environmental performance. Thus, this study investigates the role of supply chain visibility and supply chain traceability in the form of transparent information on the achievement of environmental performance led by sustainable supply chain collaboration, based on the business organisations of Sri Lanka, which have obtained environmental compliance certifications.
