The Green Multiplier: A Study of Environmental Protection and the Supply Chain

Supply chain mangement, a generally overlooked area of management, is steadily evolving into a corporate function of ever-growing economic importance. Yet is this increasing importance reflected in environmental protection? This book offers a novel theoretical model on how supply chain management could become an environmental change agent and assesses the empirical evidence for supply chain involvement in corporate greening. Ranging from the personal level through the organizational to the level of the political economy, suggestions are made how the supply chain function can make fuller use of the environmental potential.
