Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of greening the supplier, green purchasing capabilities and green innovation on firm's environmental performance, competitive advantage and economic performance. Data was collected from the respondents who are engaged in procurement related activities in different manufacturing industries whereas the researchers used partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for analysing the hypothesised relationships between the variables. Results has shown that greening the suppliers has positive impact on green innovation and green purchasing capabilities whereas green innovation and green purchasing capabilities have a positive impact on environmental, competitive advantage and financial performance accordingly. Since there are limited number of studies on greening the supplier in Pakistan therefore the findings will equally be helpful for future researchers and managers. In addition of providing the valuable information to sourcing professionals regarding their directions towards green supply chain, the present study recommended manufacturers to provide complete assistance to the suppliers in their green initiatives whereas their early collaboration in product development stages is highly recommended.

供应商绿化对环境和经济绩效的影响

本研究旨在探讨绿色供应商、绿色采购能力和绿色创新对企业环境绩效、竞争优势和经济绩效的影响。数据是从受访者谁是从事采购相关活动在不同的制造业收集的，而研究人员使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)分析变量之间的假设关系。研究结果表明，供应商绿色化对绿色创新和绿色采购能力有正向影响，绿色创新和绿色采购能力对环境绩效、竞争优势和财务绩效有正向影响。由于关于巴基斯坦供应商绿化的研究数量有限，因此研究结果对未来的研究人员和管理人员同样有帮助。除了为采购专业人员提供有关绿色供应链方向的宝贵信息外，本研究还建议制造商在供应商的绿色倡议中提供全面的帮助，并强烈建议他们在产品开发阶段的早期合作。
