5. Conclusions
- Supply chain sustainability is increasing (decreasing) in the buy-back price in the supplier-as-the-leader (retailer-as-the-leader) scenario.
- With loss neutral supplier, the buy-back contract results in a lower sustainability than the wholesale price contract.
- Supplier’s loss-averseness helps to improve supply chain sustainability.
