Abstract
The concept of SCM is relatively new in Malaysia despite the fact that Malaysia is among the 30 countries hurting by the air pollution. “Additionally, two of the cities of Malaysia are among the top 10 polluted cities of the world” (Vidal, 2016). This has negatively affected the climatic conditions of the country. Besides, Malaysia is an emerging economy and meeting economic growth will demand her to progress on industrialization. In this era of globalization and industrialization, finding ways to adopt sustainability is the aim of every organization, be it a freight forwarding industry of Malaysia Company or an FMCG concern company. “Addressing the environmental aspect helps in recognizing new opportunities, which leads towards competitive advantage” (Choi and Hwang, 2015). There are several international laws, which include agreements related to international transport and disposal of hazardous waste such as Basel Convention, which is an international treaty that was designed to reduce the hazardous waste between nations. Initiating policies within a country i.e. cleaner production, recycling waste, solid waste management and disposed material treatment can help the firm achieve environmental objectives.
