Abstract
This paper analyses the influence of Sustainable Supply Chain Management strategies—Supplier Selection, Product Stewardship and Logistics Management—on Supply Chain Management functions—Planning, Execution, Coordination and Collaboration in the oil and gas distribution industry. Using multiple regression analyses, we performed the study on 79 companies from Romania and the Republic of Moldova operating in the oil and gas distribution industry. We concluded that Sustainable Supply Chain Management strategies have a positive and significant influence on Supply Chain Management functions, both overall and on each of the functions considered in the study. Overall, the findings of this study can be used by companies operating in oil and gas distribution to design Sustainable Supply Chain Management strategies to better address the requirements for more environmentally and socially responsible activities in their supply chains and to optimize their Supply Chain Management to better cope with Sustainable Supply Chain Management requirements and expectations.
Highlights
The oil industry plays a central role in the modern economy and society [1,2]
Since the relationships between Supply ChainManagement (SCM) functions and Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) strategies in the oil industry are not analysed in the literature, this contributes to literature
This study seeks to understand the impact of SSCM strategies on SCM functions in companies operating in the oil and gas distribution industry
Summary
The oil industry plays a central role in the modern economy and society [1,2]. intensive and extensive exploitation of oil sources often leads to environmental degradation, raising sustainability concerns. Even though Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) benefits from extensive research inputs [9,10,11,12], actual implementation has proven difficult [13], while extensive research is required in order to fully understand its impact on supply chains [14,15,16,17]. This provided the rationale of this study: to analyze the possible impact induced by sustainable approach of Supply Chain Management upon Supply Chain Management functions. Since the relationships between SCM functions and SSCM strategies in the oil industry are not analysed in the literature, this contributes to literature
