Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The role of green supply chains in promoting sustainable economic development has received widespread attention from industry and academia. Green supply chains are based on supply chain management and involve manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and users. It aims to minimize negative environmental effects and maximize resource efficiency in the whole process, from production to use and scrap, including raw material acquisition, processing, packaging, storage, sales, transportation, use, and recycling. Sustainable economic development refers to the balance between economic growth speed, scale and resource limitations, environmental protection, and social justice.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Comprehensive evaluation of green supply chains.
  • Green logistics and economic development.
  • Green storage optimization decision.
  • Green supply chain finance.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

E-commerce platforms have widely embraced the paid membership system as a sustainable and effective customer management method to increase repurchase rates and offer value-added services to loyal consumers. As a common means of member benefits and a crucial link for interaction with direct consumers, logistics service is related to the platform’s sustainable operation. In this context, this paper studies retailers’ and e-commerce platforms’ cooperation strategies regarding logistics services under paid membership systems, and analyzes the impact of paid membership system on optimal outcomes. The results indicate that, in the case of the basic-service contract, sales profits decrease but membership fees increase as membership service quality increases. In accordance with the terms of the full-service contract, the platform would lower the commission fee and membership fee as the membership service quality improves. The retailer and the platform tend to sign basic-service contracts when the third-party logistics fee is low-cost, since there is a win–win interval. We also extend the logistics plan to include self-delivery and switch to centralized decision making, and we find that the basic-service contract’s win–win interval persisted. Our results reveal the fundamental connection between paid membership systems and logistics cooperation strategy, serving as a theoretical guide for the decision makers. Full article

Under increasingly stringent environmental regulations, inadequate green input levels from manufacturers may lead to substandard emissions and production shutdown, which further results in the disruption risk of the supply chain. This work investigates a green supply chain (GSC) consisting of one environmentally regulated manufacturer and one capital-constrained retailer who faces stochastic market demand. The manufacturer needs to make decisions on the green input level, which is related to the investment cost as well as supply disruption risk. The retailer has to determine product order quantities and financing decisions. We derive the operational equilibriums for the GSC system under three scenarios: no financing, trade credit financing (TCF), and bank credit financing (BCF), and recommend the optimal financial selection for the retailer via the comparison of three financial modes. The analytical and numerical results reveal that the manufacturer should improve the green input level within the financial capability to enhance the sustainable operation level of the supply chain. In addition, we find that the capital-constrained retailer will choose financing, since either BCF or TCF will result in a higher profit than no financing. Moreover, we obtain the threshold of green input level, with which we can decide whether to choose TCF or BCF under the given corresponding parameters. Full article
