between green supply chain management and performance: A meta-analysis of
empirical evidences in Asian emerging economies

ITEM:
CONCLUSION:
Over the recent years, the rapid industrial modernization has led to negative environmental impacts including greenhouse gas emissions, toxic pollutions, and chemical spills response to the growing global environmental awareness, green supply chain management (GSCM) has emerged as a concept that considers sustainability elements and a combination of environmental thinking along the intra- and inter-firm management of the upstream and downstream supply chain. Manufacturing industry in this study refers to the companies which produce goods for use or sale using labor and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing or formulation.
Besides that, economic performance, referring to profitability in general, is a significant reason for companies to implement GSCM practices. Therefore, we coded studies that measured economic performance using objective or perceived growth in sales, profit, and market share
However, the environmental performance is usually concerned with saving energy and reducing waste, pollution, and emissions. Moreover, linking the supply chain performance with manufacturing sectors, the environmental performance included reducing air emissions, water wastes, and solid wastes, as well as decreasing consumption of hazardous materials.
Then, the social performance in this study was considered a concept to quantify outcomes of the GSCM practices about increasing product and company image, protecting employee health and safety, ensuring customer loyalty and satisfaction.
