PURCHASING AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: INTERACTIONS, POLICIES AND OPPORTUNITIES
研究了环境友好型商业实践和技术如何通过采购与供应链的“绿化”在行业中扩散，分析了英国企业利用采购政策绿化供应链的做法，并指出了未来研究方向。
The mechanisms are examined by which environmentally informed business practices and technologies may diffuse through industry as a result of the ‘greening’ of purchasing and supply. The efforts of official bodies in the UK to raise environmental awareness among industrial purchasers are reviewed. It is then argued that the supply chain model is an important way of interpreting the industrial landscape from a green perspective and that it is in some ways a more hopeful and positive starting point for achieving industrial transformation. The results of an analysis of some UK companies practices in using their purchasing policies to ‘green’ their supply chains are presented and opportunities for further research indicated.
