Influence of green supply chain management on the performance of China furniture production company

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate impact of green supply chain management on the performance of furniture manufacturing companies in China. This study selected four listed Chinese furniture manufacturers. Data obtained from their 2020 annual reports and social responsibility packages were analyzed to investigate their performance in three dimensions: economic, operational, environmental. The three-stage DEA analysis was used to evaluate their green supply chain management. Multiple regression analysis was also conducted to explore factors affecting their performance. The result revealed that the Chinese manufacturers’ green supply chain management needed improvement in some aspects. In addition, green supply chain management was found to play a positive role on the environmental performance and the operational performance but a negative effect on the economic performance.
