Determinants of low carbon supply chain in Malaysian manufacturing industry : practices and its relationship on green supply chain operational performance and low carbon performance
Climate change has become one of the most critical sustainability challenges. One of the most evident contributor of climate change is carbon emissions. Therefore, academia and firms are focusing on carbon emissions reduction in both the supply chain and operations as manufacturing and supply chain...
