Abstract

The global construction industry is responsible for significant environmental and societal effects. Some researchers claim that it accounts for 35% of global gas emissions. One of the solutions is to practice green supply chain management. Part of this is Green Procurement (GP) to conserve energy and money. However, challenges in implementing green procurement in the construction industry are rising. This research aims to identify the most significant challenges when implementing green procurement (GP) in construction projects in the UAE. A comprehensive article review was conducted to determine the critical obstacles highlighted by different researchers. These challenges were prioritized using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, and then recommendations on best practices to overcome these challenges were proposed. The results show that the lack of top management commitment is the biggest challenge when implementing green procurement in the construction industry in the UAE, with a priority value of 0.331, followed by a lack of knowledge, with a value of 0.2748. In contrast, lack of awareness is the lowest-ranked factor, with a value of 0.103. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-04-06 Full Text: PDF

阿联酋建设项目实施绿色采购面临的挑战调查研究

全球建筑业对环境和社会产生了重大影响。一些研究人员声称，它占全球气体排放量的35%。解决方案之一是实施绿色供应链管理。其中一部分是绿色采购(GP)，以节省能源和金钱。然而，在建筑行业实施绿色采购的挑战正在增加。本研究旨在确定在阿联酋建设项目中实施绿色采购(GP)时面临的最重大挑战。进行了全面的文章审查，以确定不同研究人员强调的关键障碍。利用层次分析法(AHP)对这些挑战进行了优先级排序，并提出了克服这些挑战的最佳实践建议。结果表明，在阿联酋建筑业实施绿色采购时，缺乏高层管理人员的承诺是最大的挑战，优先值为0.331，其次是缺乏知识，优先值为0.2748。相比之下，缺乏意识是排名最低的因素，其值为0.103。Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-04-06全文:PDF
