Abstract: Environmental impacts, such as GHC emissions, have been introduced to supply chain management as an additional parameter to traditional cost, lead-time and on-time delivery. Supply chain management represents a significant source of decisions affecting the eco-efficiency of many products. This paper analyses cases from the food industry, mainly order-picking, transportation, warehousing, and distribution aspects from the greening point of view. Three case examples of decisions in supply chain design in the food industry are considered. The results show dependencies between performance measures. Finally, a framework of decisions and their impact on performance is presented.

Examination of Short Supply Chains Based on Circular Economy and Sustainability Aspects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determine the sustainability aspects of short supply chains and their effects related to economy and environment by deep literature review and content analysis, and they find that SSCs are connected most widely to circularity and sustainability by the subjects of environmental burden (transport, production method, emission), health, food quality, consumers' behavior, producer-consumer relationships, and local economy.

The impact of environmental management on firm performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model is proposed that links strong environmental management to improved perceived future financial performance, as measured by stock market performance, and the linkage to firm performance is tested empirically using financial event methodology and archival data of firm-level environmental and financial performance.
