Abstract

After COVID, Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, and distributors are seeking to streamline their local, and global supply chains, the issue has gained attention in how they identify, analyze and manage their procurement and supply chain processes with stakeholders. The use of supply chain adoption with green technology has been found to be preferred in international trade, which is forcing the Indian manufacturing, and services sector to realign their CSR (Corporate social responsibility) goals. Interviews have been conducted with a mix of manufacturing and service firms in India to map their sustainable procurement in green supply chain practices. The use of MAXQDA software for conducting thematic analysis to support the inductive theory and trend-building practices to know “what, why, and how” from interview responses. Each sector, manufacturing, and service showed distinct trends that divorce their approach to green SCM, and supply chain strategy for sustainable procurement though they have spread awareness about sustainable procurement with stakeholders, emphasizing economic benefits. Additionally, they pursued jointly to address environmental issues and extend societal benefits as a CSR effort. Variances in approaches in manufacturing are market-linked, time-based, and demand-driven while services firms showed green technology pledges as CSR initiatives along with an environmental emphasis in downstream SCM activities.

比较印度制造业和服务业绿色供应链实践中的可持续采购

在COVID之后，原始设备制造商(oem)、供应商和分销商正在寻求简化其本地和全球供应链，如何与利益相关者一起识别、分析和管理其采购和供应链流程的问题引起了人们的关注。在国际贸易中，采用绿色技术的供应链已被发现是首选，这迫使印度制造业和服务业重新调整其CSR(企业社会责任)目标。对印度的制造和服务公司进行了访谈，以绘制他们在绿色供应链实践中的可持续采购。利用MAXQDA软件进行专题分析，以支持归纳理论和趋势构建实践，从访谈反应中了解“什么，为什么，如何”。每个部门，制造业和服务业都显示出不同的趋势，尽管他们已经向利益相关者传播了可持续采购的意识，但他们对绿色供应链管理和可持续采购的供应链战略的态度不同，强调经济效益。此外，他们还共同致力于解决环境问题，扩大社会效益，作为企业社会责任的努力。制造业的方法差异与市场有关，以时间为基础，以需求为驱动，而服务公司则将绿色技术承诺作为企业社会责任倡议，并在下游供应链管理活动中强调环境。
