The complements for green supply chain management by EMS

Discussing the impact of environmental factors in the supply chain management is a hot issue at home and abroad. This paper begins with a brief analysis of the contents of green supply chain management and the obstacles in the environmental management process. Then we do some research on how to carry green supply chain management out considering environmental management systems. In instances where EMSs enhance an organization´s environmental performance, previous research suggests that improvements are not only to occur within the organizationiquests operational boundaries but also should be extended throughout the supply chain. Then it is required to adopt an EMS which may facilitate GSCM implementation. This research illuminates the debate by empirically evaluating the relationship between EMS and GSCM practices and the complements for GSCM by EMS.
